Oops.  Sorry.  Hm.  I thought if it's a question, don't send it to the
bug reports list.

I'm fairly sure it is sufficient to provide the right -I flags to the
compiler and the -L and -R flags to the linker.  (It's a Solaris 2.6
box with gcc 2.95.2, and except for the strangs paths there is nothing
unusual about this box I think.)

I think I needed the C_INCLUDE_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables only
so that ./configure finds the libraries, because ./configure doesn't
use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from its environment.

That is, when "LDFLAGS='-L/bla/lib' ./configure --with-foo" tries to
find libfoo, it does not call the linker with the "-L/bla/lib" command
line argument.

Hm.

Yes.  The following works:

\----

"./configure" needs C_INCLUDE_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but for "make
all", the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS setting is sufficient.
