not quite. What I propose is that we modify the standard makefiles to do something like this: include makefile.distro The makefile.distro is created by buildtarget script in, e.g., targets/pcengines/alix1c/alix1c, i.e. the build directory. > > The only problem I see with this approach is it is not volatile across > terminal windows.

The only way I see to make it > volatile across windows is somehow embed the option in the Makefile as a > define. exactly. that is my proposal :-) But instead of modifying the makefile, we *generate* a file (always) that is included in the makefile. In most cases, the generated file may only have stuff like: BUILDID_OPTION= But in your case, it would actually define that option. We can also use this to deal with the -fstack-protector mess. So one other function performed by the buildtarget script will be a new function, that of creating the makefilo.distro in the build directory. So we are close! thanks ron -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
