Subject: Makefile: COPTS vs CFLAGS
Message-ID: <20050729134011.GD21909@pasky.ji.cz>

  Hello,

  one more thing - should we keep the $COPTS variable? Most projects
(including Cogito) have the C flags controlled by the $CFLAGS variable.

  What I would propose:

	-COPTS=-g -O2
	-CFLAGS=$(COPTS) -Wall
	+CFLAGS?=-g -O2
	+CFLAGS+=-Wall

  That is, if user does not specify custom $CFLAGS, default to "-g -O2",
and always append -Wall (and more after I'll send my Makefile patches).

  Opinions?
