Seriously, I'm not sure why you set that
variable. I never heard of
it before, and usually the safest way to get
includes
added to the
compiler flags is via CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS.
I think he sets it because the Slackware official Qt3 build
scripts we
(I and Darrell) based ours on installs a profile script
in /etc/profile.d that sets CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH. I don't
know why
Slackware sets this variable but it has done it since at
least 2003 and
still does today (in the Qt4 package).
Yeah, what you said (as I just shared in a concurrent post. :) )
This raises some questions. Is the CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable
necessary at run for qt3 to behave? Or is this some kind of throw back to
the early days of qt3 that has since become obsolete?
