[rrd-developers] Re: PERLCC and companions

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Stan,

I agree that one might want to have a way of overriding perls
choice of cc and ld, but this should be done explicitly, so I would
prefer to see

--with-perl-cc=
--with-perl-ld=

or similar ...

the point of giving the option of overriding the PERL_MAKE_OPTIONS
is that some people want to have full control there ... so if you
want the ability to append, then how about

--with-perl-extra-make-options=

patches welcome

cheers
