Not all Debian packages are using dpkg-buildflags yet, so those flags might not get globally honoured. > Is there a proper way to compile all the debian packages with gcov? Even if you set CFLAGS globally, some packages might not properly pass those to the build system, or the upstream build system might not even honour them anyway. So there's no proper way, except to fix all Debian packages to honour them one way or another. Currently the only way you can guarantee all packages will be built with those flags is for example to divert the compiler binary (gcc) and add a wrapper that injects the desired flags before calling the real compiler. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
