I want to use the -ffriend-injection option for g++ 4.3.3 (for backward compatibility for source code that seems to depend on this deviation from the ISO standard).


Is there somewhere I can put this option (like an options file) that will cause g++ to use this option by default? I don't want to have to edit a bunch of make files - which I don't yet understand.

(I'm trying to build TSE3-0.3.1 and g++ 4.3.3 has updated so the source code isn't compiling - citing ISO standards not being met. I posted my original issue here.)

You don't need to edit the Makefile, the configure script looks at environment variables, in particular will put the option in the Makefile for you.

And you already know the patch [tse3_0.3.1-4.2.diff.gz]
from your other thread ?
Also to be found here

[tse3_0.3.1-4.2.diff.gz]

patch -p0 < tse3_0.3.1-4.2.diff
will do.

The patch is 4,928 lines, and adding the line
#include <cstring>
to some 'files.cpp' is one of the changes made.
.....
Compiling ( no errors ) with this patch will create
files identic to the ones, you will get with the three
packages available from Synaptic or with
sudo apt-get install .....
.....
Good luck !
