an automake question

Hi folks,

is it posssible to use different CFLAGS for different targets in
an automake-generated file?

Specifically, I need to turn off some warning options for some sources;
my favourites (gcc -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic -O) are too tight for some
system header files (namely the linuxvideo ones).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
**Daniel

PS: I really haven't managed yet to wrap my head around
autoconf/automake. Not that I didn't try. So please be
patient with me.

yes: just use the target name in the tag:
target_CFLAGS=-Wall -Werror

Not what the OP wanted. From automake info documentation:
"Automake allows you to set compilation flags on a per-program (or
per-library) basis. A single source file can be included in
several programs, and it will potentially be compiled with
different flags for each program."
