I compile a lot of softwares, And I want them optimized for my machine Pentium IV. So..... how do I make sure that everytime I compile the software, it is automatically optimized for Pentium IV.
For example: I compile kmymoney. After typing ./configure, I got this message:
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
.....................
Is this mean that everytime I compile from sources, the software will recognize my machine. So I dont need to do anything to make sure that softwares compiled from sources are optimized for Pentium IV. Or not every softwares smart like this? Maybe some are stupid that not recognized my machine so that this stupid softwares are compiled for i386?
What should I do? Just make it simple, please.....
Should I play with $CFLAGS environment variables???
