[petsc-dev] CFLAGS / LDFLAGS and cxx error

[Wesley Smith]

>    This is really tricky. We would have to parse the output from the compiler/linker and "understand automatically" the problem so we can report it back to the user. In general this is impossible. We could, however, for example handle THIS case by looking for the string:  "file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked" and print an error message specific to that string. The problem is if Apple or the compiler writes change one word in their error message our string search no longer works.

I understand.  Since I'm new to this build system, I didn't think to
look in the log for some reason.  Maybe you could just say, see the
log for more info?
