</div><p style="margin: 0px;">Hi, </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">There is a macro for cmake, that gets the right optimization settings for your architecture: </p>

<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0px;">We could embed this into the base/types package. It doesn't help however with opencv and libelas, I guess. In the long run, I would vote that autoproj itself can do the differentiation between different compiler option, much like it does for the operating systems now. For now using SSE2 should be ok (will fail e.g. on gumstix however). </p>
