IDE adds -werror to makefile build [message #1740904]

I am building an existing makefile project. In one of the sub-projects, the build searches for an include file that it can't find - actually, it shouldn't even be looking on that specific path. And somehow -Werror is set, I the -Werror=missing-include-dirs causes the build to fail. This only happens when I run the make all via the IDE. Running it in a command shell works fine and succeeds.

I have tried adding -w and -Wno-error and -Wno-error=missing-include-dirs to the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS export variables, both via the IDE, and in the configure command line. But it seems that these don't get added to the executed compile command.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

I use makefile projects exclusively. Eclipse doesn't build or modify the makefile. Running make all via Eclipse shouldn't either. Maybe you are using the internal builder or are allowing Eclipse to modify the makefile? Check the Builder Settings tab in Project --> Properties --> C/C++Build.
