Hello all,

pardon a bit ambiguous and perhaps a bit poetic subject. I've noticed
following # ./configure --enable-intf-open --enable-intf-bmc ; doesn't
result in what I'd expected. That is enabling interface BMC and
OpenIPMI. I've filled bug for the former, because there is a bug in
configure.in which disables BMC interface on SPARC platform. Yes, I do
dare call it a bug, because that's what it is. The latter, OpenIPMI,
should work automagically. That is, if foo.h is not found, then try
bar.h, then try something else, and if everything else fails, use
"internal" header file. That's what configure output tells you anyway.
None the less, you'll end up with ``open: no'' and OpenIPMI interface
doesn't get compiled in. Actually, I'm going to fill artifact(why
SF.net, why? I mean, omg!) as well.

Now, when I say, execute, # ./configure --enable-intf-bmc
--enable-intf-open ; shouldn't I get what I want? And if something is
missing, say header files, shouldn't I be told about it with #
./configure; crashing big time, eg. like when no C compiler could be
found? I believe this should be the very same case.
I haven't investigated this deeply (yet). There are per-os-type
defaults which are great. And they should be over-ridable. However, it
seems they're not.

What do you think; bug or feature?

Regards,
Z.
