[q-lang-users] Feature request (or maybe bug report) for qcc

[Andrew B. <and...@ya...>]

I don't know if this is hard, easy, or other.  What I would like is  
for qcc to pick up the options passed to ./configure when q was built.

Here's my example.  I like to keep everything I build in $HOME/local  
so that it does not interfere (so much) with upgrading the O/S.  When  
I install q, I use "./configure --prefix=$HOME/local CFLAGS=-I$HOME/ 
local/include LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/local/lib".  This works fine, although  
it would be nice if prefix/include and prefix/lib were added to the  
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS by default.  It seems like a lot of projects do  
that, although I know that a lot of them do not.  Anyhow, when I  
later use qcc, for example to build q-opengl, I get a bunch of errors:

(cd src && make all)
qcc -o opengl.la opengl_wrap.c -- --link -lglut -lGL -lGLU
opengl_wrap.c:13:18: error: libq.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /usr/include/machine/_types.h:28,
                  from /usr/include/sys/_types.h:27,
                  from /usr/include/_types.h:27,
                  from /usr/include/string.h:60,
                  from opengl_wrap.c:58:/usr/include/i386/_types.h:  
In function 'MODULE':
/usr/include/i386/_types.h:31: error: storage class specified for  
parameter '__int8_t'
/usr/include/i386/_types.h:35: error: storage class specified for  
parameter '__uint8_t'
... &c.

It is clear that I need -I$HOME/include/include to get passed to gcc,  
so first try to build q-opengl with "make CFLAGS=-I$HOME/local/ 
include", but that does not work, and end up having to edit the  
Makefile.  This is rather tedious, and feels unnecessary.
