So now I had this great idea. Wouldn't it be great if I could tell
'make distcheck' use './configure --enable-gcc-werror'!
Anyone have a clue on how to do this?
While this can certainly be done (as explained in subsequent email),
you might want to think twice about it. Many people consider open
source development to be a profoundly "personal" experience and "make
distcheck" to be a "personal" experience but for packages using an
open license, it may be that someone else will want to perform "make
distcheck" on your package and a benign warning originating from some
system header file or due to a minor typing difference will prevent it
from succeeding.
I think that "make distcheck" should be for testing the distribution
integrity. Packages which use free licenses like GPL should be
lenient about minor things in order to avoid arbitrarily limiting the
free exercise of the license.
