Hello, I'm using a Makevars.in file and running my code through gdb. I understand i should turn of -O2, but R's makeconf overrides my settings /ln/meraki/custom/lib64/R/etc/Makeconf:112: warning: overriding commands for target `.cc.o' in Makevars.in .cc.o: g++ -g ${PKG_CXXFLAGS} ${PKG_LIBS} ${RINC} ${RLIB} -c $< -o $@ Thank you S.
