I'm confused about tweaking a Makefile which is normally generated initially using ./configure. If one needs to define variables which affect the make process, and a Makefile is generated initially using ./configure, is the right thing to do simply to insert the define directly into the Makefile, or is one supposed to define the variable in the environment and rerun ./configure? In other words, should the goal be to make configure generate an appropriate Makefile, or is configure just used to get a starting point for an appropriate Makefile, and the Makefile treated as the source from that point on? Thanks, Gary
