We have only two PMs these days: Fink and MacPorts, both of which wipe-out any of my-own environment settings e.g. CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc etc etc etc etc. FWIW I tune for CFLAGS="-fast -mtune=core2 -march=core2 -force_cpusubtype_ALL -arch i386" (very rarely additionally "-arch x86_64" for a multi-arch "bundle"). I put things in /usr/local, not in /opt like these PMs want to do (it's even worse with 10.6/SL). Too much of GNome/GLib/etc will not compile/run correctly with Apple's LLVM, so we are forced to use plain gcc-4.2 (again albeit Apple's version). I think that's 'it' in a nutshell, at least for now on this topic/list. ;) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
