I tried to make a build with VACPP 8.0 on a SUSE box. The setting of "-F
<value>" (compiler config location) via compiler/linker options as
explained in the README:

    "To  change  preprocessor, compiler,  or  linker  options you  can
     either set the make variables CPPOPTS, CXXOPTS, and LDOPTS on the
     command  line  (recommended,  except   with  HP  aCC)  or  modify
     ${BUILDDIR}/makefile.in.  The  second option is  recommended when
     compiling  with HP  aCC (as  the compiler  looks  for environment
     variables with the same names)."

does not work.

I looked in JIRA and there seems to be no incident describing this
situation. I do not want to go the way of modifying makefile.in.

Has anyone tried a build like this on such a system?


Thanks,
Liviu
