Hi there,
the contrib/credential/osxkeychain/Makefile goes like this

and does not allow me to pass CFLAGS to build git-credential-osxkeychain.o. My hack is to call: make CC="$CC $CFLAGS" That is ugly.

Would you mind to add the CFLAGS to that CC call?
bests,
 Samuel

Yeah, that is ugly.

It however seems to me that git-credential-osxkeychain.o does honor $(CFLAGS), either from the user "make CFLAGS=..." or the default the Makefile in question supplies.

The line you quoted is not using $(CC) as the compiler, but is using it to link the final build product. It may not hurt to have $(CFLAGS) on that line, but shouldn't the line also have $(LDFLAGS) on it?

I think so. Why don't we do this?

Subject: osxkeychain: pull make config from top-level directory

The default compiler and cflags were mostly "works for me" when I built the original version. We need to be much less careful here than usual, because we know we are building only on OS X. But it's only polite to at least respect the CFLAGS and CC definitions that the user may have provided earlier.

While we're at it, let's update our definitions and rules to be more like the top-level Makefile; default our CFLAGS to include -O2, and make sure we use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS when linking.

I am OK with that.

CFLAGS/LDFLAGS that come from ../../../config.mak _might_ not be suitable for this binary, but I do not think of a concrete example how that could be. Besides, this is just an example in contrib/ so I'd not worry about it too much.

Thanks.

Yeah, I considered that, but I figured that what you have in config.mak is _at least_ as sensible as the random defaults I stuck in the Makefile. And overriding with "make CFLAGS=..." is still available.
