I know it's a synonym, and I know the autotools guys push for it, and I'm all for it, but... We have to have an idea what we break, on any of the platforms Wirehark is build for, if we do this. So therefore my question how far back this symbiotic existence of INCLUDES and CPPFLAGS goes.
Looks like it was introduced in automake-1.4. Quoting from the NEWS file: * Added `AM_FOOFLAGS' variable for each compiler invocation; e.g. AM_CFLAGS can be used in Makefile.am to set C compiler flags automake-1.5's documentation includes the same statement about INCLUDES being deprecated in favour of AM_CPPFLAGS as the latest docs do. d

Do we break anything with this cleanup?(I submitted the bug) The automake documentation says: INCLUDES This does the same job as AM_CPPFLAGS (or any per-target _CPPFLAGS variable if it is used). It is an older name for the same functionality. This variable is deprecated; we suggest using AM_CPPFLAGS and per-target _CPPFLAGS instead. On that basis, I believe they're synonyms, and the automake folks are pushing everyone towards the AM_* style variables. I see the annoying logspew using OSX with MacPorts and automake-1.13.1 (and I *think* on Debian/testing as well, but that box is inaccessible right now, so I cannot confirm that). I've updated the bug, d___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
