Re: How can I override CXXFLAGS?

[Bob Friesenhahn]

I strongly recommend that you go back and read the Autoconf and 
Automake documentation.  It does seem like the project that you joined 
does have some issues.

Autoconf and automake work in conjunction with each other and can 
accomplish what you desire if used correctly.

It is true that Autoconf does produce a default set of CXXFLAGS but 
these can be easily overridden by the user, unless the project was 
constructed incorrectly.
