Changing compiler options in Linux when compiling LCS.
« on: February 03, 2011, 11:03:22 am »
I wanted to be able to do more with gdb and add a couple of defines, SHOWMECHANICS and one for a cheat menu I have, so I looked around in the files and ended up changing CXXFLAGS in the two Makefile and it worked.

Now I'm wondering, is this how it is supposed to be done or the best way to do it?

I just uncomment a line in includes.h (I think) that sets the define, but I suspect that any way that works for you is fine.

Not sure if there's a cleaner way to do it, but one thing you can do is make clean and give the CXXFLAGS you like as an environment variable to configure. So, for instance, like so:

Code: [Select]
make clean
CXXFLAGS=-DSHOWMECHANICS=1 ./configure
make
