The line you are quoting is a generic help statement which is auto generated by autoconf for any configure script built with the gnu/autoconf tools. It is up to whoever writes the configure.in script (which gets converted to the actual configure script) to document any features that may be enabled in this way. Maybe this project has no such features? Privoxy's configure --help output: Optional Features: --disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no) --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes] --enable-mingw32 Use mingw32 for a Windows GUI --disable-pthread Don't use POSIX threads (pthreads) --disable-toggle Don't support temporary disable --disable-force Don't allow single-page disable --disable-fast-redirects Don't support fast redirects --disable-killpopup Never block popups --disable-stats Don't keep statistics [...] So the first two are generated, hardwired examples of how to use --enable/--disable. Those listed below that are some of the available features that can be disabled/enabled at compile time for this particular source. You can look at the relevant configure.in script to see how this works. -- Hal Burgiss -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
