comparison acinclude/ax_check_compiler_flags.m4 @ 5029:5d7d48157be7

Greg Jandl to SDL I did some digging, and I think I've found a better solution. By including some additional .m4 macros in the acinclude directory (http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_compiler_flags.html, http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_gcc_archflag.html and http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_gcc_x86_cpuid.html) then using the patch below (same as previous patch + one line change to configure.in), SDL will build correctly out of the box. The arch can then be overridden by --with-gcc-arch=<arch> (most will probably want to build with i686 there for general distribution) or --without-gcc-arch, to disable setting the arch all together. On my Atom netbook, I get -march=PentiumPro by default, which works great, as does --with-gcc-arch=i686.

7 # AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS(FLAGS, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE])
8 #
9 # DESCRIPTION
10 #
11 # Check whether the given compiler FLAGS work with the current language's
12 # compiler, or whether they give an error. (Warnings, however, are
13 # ignored.)
14 #
15 # ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
16 # success/failure.
