Never realized that based on what I see in the m4 files and the help
text :) All good then.
Standard autoconf help text says:
Optional Features:
--disable-option-checking ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as
--enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
Yeah but who reads that part? :) When I do -h I'm looking for a
particular option and just skim through. :) I would have naively
expected the help docs to be more explicit:
--enable-foo Enables foo [default]
--disable-foo Disables foo
but instead they only document the flag that changes the default ie:
--disable-foo Disables foo [enabled]
which is succinct but to me gives a one-sided view of the options :)
Cheers,
David
But I agree, it could defintively have been written to be more clear.
