Hi,
I am trying to better understand flags. I believe I have reviewed each
of the related documents, but I am still not sure of the impact of -flag
when in an ebuild?
For example when I 'emerge -pv xfree' the output is:
x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 [4.3.0-r2] -3dfx -sse -mmx -3dnow -xml2
+truetype +n
Most packages have many options that they can be
configured and built with. However, not everyone needs or
wants all of them. For example, I may not want to compile
a package with arts options since I don't use KDE. In
another distro we have to use flags on the configure
command line like:
Hi Brett. Thank you for the swift reply. You provide sicinct info.
Unfortunately, I cannot info for the negative case. Do you know the
answers to my specific questions?

It depends on the package. If the package supports debug
as an option then debug enables it, -debug disables it.

Hi Brett, So if a package has '-debug' then
(a) does this mean that debug is not available?
or
(b) does this mean that I can optionally remove debug?

Neither. "-debug" means that the package supports the debug flag but

That means you do not currently have 'd
It depends - if the package you are installing knows about
a debug option then it will use it, if you do -debug you
tell it not to compile in the stuff for debug. It's
package dependent, not Gentoo.

Apparently not... at least not on ppc. Do some default to on?

I thought the docs stated they default to on - it's been a
while since I've read them.
