Is there a way set flags on a per-file basis with automake?
In particular, if I have a c++ project and want to compile with -WAll all the files except one for which I want to disable a particular warning, what could I do?
I tried something like:
CXXFLAGS = -WAll ...
bin_PROGRAMS = test
test_SOURCES = main.cpp utility.cpp
utility_o_CXXFLAGS = $(CXXFLAGS) -Wno-unused-value
but it didn't work.
EDITED: removed reference to automake manual, which was actually misleading (thanks to Douglas Leeder).
Automake only supports per-target flags, while you want per-object flags. One way around is to create a small library that contains your object:
CXXFLAGS = -Wall ...
bin_PROGRAMS = test
test_SOURCES = main.cpp
test_LDADD = libutility.a
noinst_LIBRARIES = libutility.a
libutility_a_SOURCES = utility.cpp
libutility_a_CXXFLAGS = $(CXXFLAGS) -Wno-unused-value
