Rob,

The persistancy you're seeing is from higher versions of autoconf being used and a misunderstanding how to override the default CFLAGS. If you wish to override the optimization, etc, do the following with the newer autoconf stuff:

./configure CFLAGS="-O"

However, I'd recommend using -O2 if you can. You only have to compile zclipQ.c once--but I will see if I can fix the problem with that file.

I observe the same behavior with the tarball using gcc-3.2.2 on
FreeBSD-4.8.  Also, doesn't occur with cvs HEAD branch.

  Still, zclipQ.c compliles forever here. Let it be a gcc-compiler bug,
  but this only occurs with your tarball; not with the HEAD branch of CVS!

  Please consider an easy solution to bypass this problem/bug.

  I'm using gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD 4.8.

David,

The "-O2" in this tarball is too persistent. I have set environment vars to use
"-O" instead (e.g. CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, FFLAGS etc.), but to no avail.
The compilation then went on with both present, "-O" and "-O2" !!

At last I edited the configure script and replaced all "-O2" by "-O" and that
worked. But this is a rather dirty way of solving the problem.

Regards,
Rob.
