I noticed that Makefile.pre.in uses the value from the environment variable LDFLAGS but not CPPFLAGS. Any reason for this? ./configure -h`` lists both (and some other environment variables which are not really used either) so it seems a little misleading to have those listed but to not utilize them.
The whole story of how the compiling/linker flags get set up is a bit of a mess, AFAIK. I don't have the energy or the desire to try to make what we want to happen precise (the hard bit) and then make that happen (probably rather easier).
This should allow for the removal of the direct support for Fink and DarwinPorts.
+lots. I don't trust fink, but need it for latex...
Cheers, mwh
