What's the difference between cflags and ldflags in gyp - chromium

I'm looking into gyp & gypi files in chromium. What's the role of cflags and ldflags?
What does below code mean?
'cflags': '<!#(<(pkg-config) --cflags gstreamer-0.10)',
'ldflags': '<!#(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-L --libs-only-other gstreamer-0.10)',

I had to study about makefile. and found :
cflags - this is used to set environment variable and configuration option for C compiler
ldflag - flag for ld linker
and there are other flags as below :
ARFLAGS - for ar achiver
ASFLAGS - for as assembler
CXXFLAGS - for c++ compiler
COFLAGS - for co utility
CPPFLAGS - for C preprocessor
FFLAGS - for Fortran compiler
LFLAGS - for lex
PFLAGS - for Pascal compiler
YFLAGS - for yacc

Unable to build flatc compiler flatbuffer v1.3.0

We are using flatbuffer v1.3.0 and seeing error building flatc compiler.
Same error for flatbuffer version v1.3.0 to v1.12.1
Build is successful for version 2.0.0
Should we use a particular version of make to build the flatc compiler? If so how to do it?
Steps
git clone https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/tree/v1.3.0
cd flatbuffers

Flatbuffer requires a specific version of clang to compile the 1.12.1.
Installing the required version.
sudo apt-get install clang-6.0 lld-6.0 clang-tidy-6.0
use update-alternatives to link the clang.
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/bin/clang-6.0 10

Conan and Raspberry Pico, how to use together?

Good morning!
I'm rewriting this question because, after a lot of reading and try-fails, I go further on that but I get staked again.
What I'm trying to accomplice here is: Use Conan as a Package manager for the embedded device "Raspberry PICO" from my Mac (with CLion)
The change from the previous question is that now I'm creating a package and I do not use only the "standalone" packages manager.
This "package" is on github.com. To install and try to compile it, you will need also the Pico SDK.
Some facts:
The new c++ project without Conan but with SDK is compiling and working on an embedded device.
The Conan project without Pico SDK is compiling correctly.
I really tried every possible configuration on the profile file and there are two mainly configuration profiles that brings to two different errors during build:
The first one is without any environments. This is because on CLion I'm not adding any environment and the project itself (without conan, but oblivious with SDK for pico) is builder correctly.

Define compiler and linker in CMAKE

I would like to use CMAKE to compile a special piece of code in C99 with language extensions. Therefore I have to use a "custom" compiler and linker /your/path/to/compiler and /your/path/to/linker. How can I define the compiler and the linker command used by CMAKE?
EDIT:
I tried to define the compiler and linker as suggested by Equod:
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /your/path/to/compiler)
set(CMAKE_CUSTOM_LINKER /your/path/to/linker)
set(CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE
"<CMAKE_CUSTOM_LINKER> <FLAGS> <CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS> -o <TARGET> <LINK_LIBRARIES>")
But CMAKE is still not taking it:

What I forgot to mention before, I am working on a Windows machine and the executable of th compiler and linker is in the PATH.
EDIT:
Here is my CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(MyProject
VERSION 1.0
DESCRIPTION "This is MyProject"
LANGUAGES C
)
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER my_compiler)
set(CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE my_linker)
configure_file(include/myproject_config.h.in include/myproject_config.h)
set(HEADER_FILES include/main.h include/somefunc.h)
set(SOURCE_FILES src/main.c src/somefunc.c)
add_executable(MyProject ${HEADER_FILES} ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_include_directories(MyProject PUBLIC "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}" )
target_include_directories(MyProject PUBLIC "../include" )
P.S.: my_compiler and my_linker are in PATH of cmd and PowerShell.
EDIT:
I installed MinGW now. I have make in my PATH as well. I updated the CMakeLists.txt file above. The make command tries to compile the code now with:
my_compiler #CMakeFiles/MyProject.dir/includes_C.rsp -o CMakeFiles\MyProject.dir\src\main.c.obj -c "C:\mypath\main.c"
But this is not working because I need a command like:
my_compiler -I="../include" "C:\mypath\main.c"
What CMake commands do I need to configure such a behavior?
CMake as default C compiler uses CC environment variables. You can also specify a different compiler and linker setting CMake variables:
Compiler:
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /your/path/to/compiler)
Linker:
set(CMAKE_CUSTOM_LINKER /your/path/to/linker)
set(CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE
"<CMAKE_CUSTOM_LINKER> <FLAGS> <CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS> -o <TARGET> <LINK_LIBRARIES>")
To better understand why linker settings are done in two steps I'd suggest taking a look at how those variables are managed internally by CMake:

Cmake not changing build flags

Consider the following simple openMP program:
program hello
use OMP_LIB
implicit none
integer :: nthreads, tid
!$OMP PARALLEL PRIVATE(nthreads, tid)
tid = omp_get_thread_num()
nthreads = omp_get_num_threads()
! print *, "hello"
print *,"Thread:", tid, "of", nthreads
!$OMP END PARALLEL
end program hello
when i compile it as
gfortran -fopenmp hello.90 -o hello.x
I get output as:
Thread: 2 of 4
Thread: 1 of 4
Thread: 0 of 4
Thread: 3 of 4
as expected.
Now if i consider the following CMakeLists.txt file
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9)
project (hello Fortran)
enable_language(Fortran)
IF(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
message("NO BUILD TYPE PROVIDED")
message("DEFAULT BUILD TYPE SET TO 'Release'")

message("MAKING RELEASE BUILD")
set(CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_RELEASE "-fopenmp")
message("FLAGS: ${CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_RELEASE}")
ENDIF()
add_executable(hello.x hello.f90)
Considering above file is right, it should add omp flag to make file and hence compile and run same, however

Which is same as missing -fopenmp flag. How to add it?
The set command for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE take a "non-string" argument apparently.
Changing
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE 'Release')
to
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
solved the problem for me. I first dug into the cache system to understand why your setting would not work and there was no reason. I found a CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS_'Release' entry in ccmake and looked again at the variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in the docs, and it takes values empty, Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel (which I understood as being unquoted).

CMake is able to cross compile on 3rd invocation

I've to cross compile a 3rd party library which uses CMake.
In order to build something, I need to pass "-B path" flag to compiler.
foo.c :
void main(){}
Build command :
cross-gcc -B /path/to/somewhere -o foo.o foo.c
Without "-B path" option, the compiler simply does not work.
Hence I use the following lines in my cmake toolchain file :
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
But during the validation of compiler, CMake does not seem use the flags I set :

The C++ compiler "/cross-path/cross-g++" is not
able to compile a simple test program.
....
....
/cross-path/cross-g++ -o CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec.dir/testCXXCompiler.cxx.o -c CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/testCXXCompiler.cxx
And if I invoke CMake 3rd time, everything works fine with only a warning :
....
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
I'm using CMake 2.8.7 and aware that it is quite outdated but upgrade is not an option if this is the case.
Edit :
Toolchain file :
# this one is important
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)
#this one not so much
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 1)
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
# specify the cross compiler
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /cross-path/cross-gcc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /cross-path/cross-g++)
It looks that the problem of picking up the flags is very similar to one already discussed in SO in the past:
CMake cross-compiling: C flags from toolchain file ignored
Try the proposed solution, i.e. replace:
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
by
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
Try also to check if replacing your toolchain file with a new one that uses INCLUDE(CMakeForceCompiler) as mentioned in
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling and
How can I make Cmake use specific compiler and flags when final compilation stage instead of detection? and
Cmake cross compile flags
INCLUDE(CMakeForceCompiler)
# this one is important
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)
#this one not so much
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 1)
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-B /path/to/somewhere")
# specify the cross compiler
CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER(/cross-path/cross-gcc GNU)
CMAKE_FORCE_CXX_COMPILER(/cross-path/cross-g++ GNU)
...
has the same effect as the first hack. The second option seems a cleaner solution.
