CFLAGS Question

[funnyjedi]

I am trying to install Quicktime and LibMPEG3 from source , but there is no configure file. I need to manually specify CFLAGS but I am not sure how to do it. Any pointers to some reading material on make help would be useful.
Thanks

You can temporarily set the CFLAGS variable at the commandline with

CFLAGS="whatever"

or add it to /etc/profile for system wide access such as I do.

CHOST='athlon-linux-gnu'
CFLAGS='-march=athlon-mp -mcpu=athlon-mp -O2 -pipe'
CXXFLAGS='-march=athlon-mp -mcpu=athlon-mp -O2 -pipe'

export CHOST CFLAGS CXXFLAGS

Thanks mdwatts! I also took that suggestion of doing a JL search. I think I need to do that more!!!
