gobject-introspection breaks on any CXXFLAGS. if my CXXFLAGS are set to "-march=native" then i get an error

Comment 1 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2010-02-28 14:06:25 UTC 
-march=native really doesn't make a lot of sense for introspection, so I can't see why it should be allowed.
Comment 2 victor.pelt 2010-02-28 16:19:03 UTC 
because it is a valid CXXFLAGS. 
if the build system doens't like CXXFLAGS it should just drop them, but breaking because it is set as an environmental variable is set is a bad idea. (or rather it is a bad idea if it breaks on the conventional use of CXXFLAGS.

please reopen
Comment 3 Nirbheek Chauhan 2010-02-28 17:31:44 UTC 
The primary question is why CXXFLAGS makes sense for introspection at all (and hence why is it using that value).
Comment 4 Marc Koschewski 2010-06-29 20:20:18 UTC 
Guys, what's the problem about fixing such crap? Where you don't need flags, just don't use them - don't blame people for having something set in their environments that breaks a build. Just ignore stuff you don't need.
