Hi.
I am a Arch newbie, i'm trying it out to see if it can be a gentoo replacement.
I am very impressed with the speed and simplicity of it so far, i have managed to install packages from the AUR (what a great resource!).
However I am having one issue:-
I have tried to recompile a game - tremulous (from community) using abs.
I have put my CFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf
---------------------------------------------------
export CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2"
export CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2"
---------------------------------------------------
However when i use makepkg -c it compiles with seemingly 2 sets of CFLAGS - mine (above) and the one's originally used, for example when building I see
-march=athlon-xp -O2 , but also -march=i586 -O3 in the compile output (I am at work at the min so I don't have the full line)
I have 2 questions regardings this
1. Having 2 -march's and 2 -O levels - which march setting will be obyed (or is it lightly to be a bad package ?
2. How do i get rid of the original march setting (-march=i586) ?
I know some people say that changing CFLAGS is not recommended but I would like to know how to (that fact that debian's apt-build package ignore's CFLAGS was the reason I stopped using ubuntu - i find debian distros pretty slow generally)
