fix: Allow for environment override of CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS #29
Conversation
* Allow for CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to use its default behavior of taking the value of CXXFLAGS if it exists in the environment. - c.f. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.31/envvar/CXXFLAGS.html - Set CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS and then determine all other compiler or linker flags. * Remove subtractive behavior of removing compiler flags and instead use additive behavior. This both makes the user more responsible for their flag choices and ensures that known required flags can be added without interfering as repeated flags are safe. * Set range of compatible CMake versions to allow more modern CMake to be used if available. - Bump lower bound on CMake to v3.12 when this feature was added. - c.f. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/cmake_minimum_required.html * Correct typos: - 'CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR' -> 'CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR' * Add pixi ignores to .gitignore.

Use range of compatible CMake versions (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/cmake_minimum_required.html) which was introduced in v3.12. This will take the newest available CMake version between v3.12 and v3.31 that can be found a build time.

First determine the values of CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS: Either taken from the environment CXXFLAGS like normal, or if they are absent, set defaults manually.

Once CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS has been set, then all other compiler or linker flags can be set accordingly in an additive fashion to their existing environmental defaults based on the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID.

@matthewfeickert thanks a lot for this. I have tested on linux and m3 and it works fine.
