#48115 allow passing in cflags/ldflags to liblfds build
Closed: wontfix None Opened 9 years ago by rmeggins.

We need to be able to modify or replace the build flags liblfds uses. For example, the Fedora/EL build system requires the ability to use hardening flags:

rpm --eval %optflags

-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -m64 -mtune=generic

We need to be able to pass these when building liblfds


This is pretty important

Actually, I'm unclear if you want the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS from nunc-stans to be also be used for liblfds, or if you want to allow separate CFLAGS/LDFLAGS for liblfds. If the former, then I need to make a simple modification to the patch.

I'm not sure either. Certainly we want the hardening flags to be passed in via CFLAGS/LDFLAGS. In the case where there are conflicting flags, we would usually want to use the ones from our build, unless there is some feature of lfds that absolutely requires a particular compiler flag.

Okay, So I changed the patch to pass the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS from the nunc-stans configure to liblfds, and I kept the new ENV vars(LFDS_CFLAGS/LFDS_LDFLAGS) that are exclusive to liblfds.

New patch attached.

Where are LFDS_CFLAGS and LFDS_LDFLAGS set?

Where are LFDS_CFLAGS and LFDS_LDFLAGS set?

In the configure command:

LFDS_CFLAGS='-mtune=generic -m64' CFLAGS='-pipe -fPIC -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4' CXXFLAGS='-pipe -fPIC -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' ../nunc-stans/configure --with-fhs --libdir=/usr/lib64

Do you have to specify LFDS_CFLAGS when using configure? Or is that only if you need to specify different flags when building lfds?

Sorry I should have explained this better. So CFLAGS/LDFLAGS carry over to liblfds, then if you need something specific to liblfds you can use the LFDS_* vars.

Ok. Can you provide an example of what the output of "make" looks like when you build nunc-stans+lfds?
