I noticed that Makefile.pre.in uses the value from the environment variable LDFLAGS but not CPPFLAGS. Any reason for this? How did you notice that? For LDFLAGS, Makefile.pre.in has LDFLAGS= @LDFLAGS@ This does not mean that the value from the environment is used. Instead, it means that configure computes the value of LDFLAGS when it generates Makefile.in. For CPPFLAGS, configure has nothing to compute, so Makefile.pre.in just has the static value for CPPFLAGS.
I am not so sure that is true. Checking configure.in, there is no mention of
CPPFLAGS anywhere. And yet if I modify the definition of CPPFLAGS in
Makefile.pre.in to -I. -I./Include @CPPFLAGS@ it ends up containing the
value I have for the environment variable at the end of it. I think the '@@'
syntax uses a value from configure.in if it is defined else it defaults to the
value the shell has.
