In that case, either the build environment on the second server is
different, or the second server is not an exact replica.

Is that were purify is installed on the second server?

The CXXFLAGS is indeed a (make) variable. The '-DNO_PURIFY' is *not*
a variable; it's a *value*.

It doesn't have a value, it *is* a value.

The meaning of that value is probably to not use purify.

However, since your build failed, your code doesn't use that
setting correctly. What you probably want to do is:

grep -l '#include .*purify\.h' *.cpp

Then examine all files that grep above gives you, and make sure
that all instances of '#include "purify.h"' are conditional:

#ifndef NO_PURIFY
# include "purify.h"
#endif

Alternatively, install purify on the second server, or at least copy
its purify.h header into the same place as it is on the first one.

Thanks for the clarification.
I will try out your ideas. Thanks again
