[M3devel] missing M3_FRONT_FLAGS from libm3: m3overrides

[Jay]

I "fixed" this I guess, but as it was working for me, maybe your config files are not right?
It is "quake" by the way, which I assume means "quick make" but I don't know.
obliq is something else, like for scripting network objects?
 
The file now reads:
 
override("m3core", ROOT & "/m3-libs")
if defined("M3_FRONT_FLAGS")
    M3_FRONT_FLAGS += "-vsdebug"
else
    M3_FRONT_FLAGS = ["-vsdebug"]
end
_M3BUNDLE_OVERRIDE = "T"
