[SOLVED] makepkg ignoreing CFLAGS

Question

It seems no matter what I do makeflags ignores my CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS options.
I have added
CFLAGS="-march=sandybridge -mtune=sandybridge -O3 -pipe"
to all the locations that makepkg.conf has been installed..
/etc/makepkg.conf
/home/jwdev/abs/chroot/jwdev/etc/makepkg.conf
/home/jwdev/abs/chroot/root/etc/makepkg.conf
/var/abs/core/pacman/makepkg.conf
as well as to the makechrootpkg command
mkarchroot -C /etc/pacman.conf -M /etc/makepkg.conf $CHROOT/root base-devel
arch-nspawn $CHROOT/root pacman -Syu
cd $1
makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT -- CFLAGS="-march=sandybridge -mtune=sandybridge -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=sandybridge -mtune=sandybridge -O3 -pipe"
But still, when I run makepkg I see...
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wall
This is the case if I makepkg or makechrootpkg
is there some otehr secert location for these args? or are they hardcoded in
I do see that some packages have hardcoded args, like libaio, which kind of defeats the point of abs
build() {
cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
CFLAGS="-march=${CARCH/_/-} -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe"
make
but in my test case, smplayer, this is not the case
build() {
cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
make PREFIX=/usr \
DOC_PATH="\\\"/usr/share/doc/smplayer\\\"" \
QMAKE_OPTS=DEFINES+=NO_DEBUG_ON_CONSOLE
thanks
UPDATE:  running makepkg on "joe" I see that the CFLAGS are correct... so it seems that only some (all but 1 so far actually) packages respect the makepkg? while the other just do their 'own thing'?  I am new to Arch, so maybe I am missing a huge piece of information

The trick desribed in wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg#CFLAGS.2FCXXFLAGS.2FCPPFLAGS_in_makepkg.conf_do_not_work_for_QMAKE_based_packages
works only with those sources, that use qmake (qmake-qt4) for preconfigure. In those case, you should to define QMAKE variable in PKGBUILD and next invoke it in "build" section. See example of QupZilla that works for me (it's modified qupzilla-qt5-qtwebkit-git's PKGBUILD by Alex Talker):
pkgname=qupzilla-qt5-qtwebkit-git
pkgver=r3348.0c37b62
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A new and very fast open source browser based on WebKit core, written in Qt Framework."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://qupzilla.com/index.php"
license=('GPL')
depends=( 'qt5-base' 'qt5-script' 'qt5-webkit')
makedepends=('git')
provides=('qupzilla' 'qupzilla-git')
conflicts=('qupzilla' 'qupzilla-git' 'qupzilla-qt5-git')
source=('git+https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla.git')
md5sums=('SKIP')
CFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=bdver2 -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4"
CXXFLAGS="-march=native -mtune=bdver2 -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4"
pkgver() {
cd qupzilla
printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
build() {
cd "$srcdir/qupzilla"
export USE_WEBGL="true"
export KDE_INTEGRATION="true"
export QUPZILLA_PREFIX="/usr/"
export USE_LIBPATH="/usr/lib"
qmake-qt5 "$srcdir/qupzilla/QupZilla.pro" \
PREFIX=/usr \
CONFIG+=LINUX_INTEGRATED \
INSTALL_ROOT_PATH="$pkgdir" \
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE="${CFLAGS}" \
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE="${CXXFLAGS}"
make
package() {
cd ${srcdir}/qupzilla
make INSTALL_ROOT="$pkgdir/" install
Modified sections are:
- in "headers" - where I add CFLAGS="something" and CXXFLAGS="something" variable and
- in "build" section by add:
QupZilla.pro to
qmake-qt5 "$srcdir/qupzilla/
in original PKGBUILD and
CONFIG+=LINUX_INTEGRATED \
INSTALL_ROOT_PATH="$pkgdir" \
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE="${CFLAGS}" \
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE="${CXXFLAGS}"
But, in case of smplayer, it looks like, that is "preconfigured". There isn't *.pro file, you don't use "qmake" to preconfigure sources, and typical configuration for it is only:
make
sudo make install
because everything else is in Makefile.txt. You should use another trick (I don't know which will be correct).
