Sigh... gnuserv and itimer are required. Apologies. Feature request (yes, I know, I should implement it myself...): Add --disable-bbdb-srv to configure script. Hmmm... How about changing the emacs code for generating bbdb-srv.elc to something like this: >From the current: (progn (or (fboundp (quote define-obsolete-variable-alias)) (if (locate-library "gnuserv-compat") (load "gnuserv-compat" t t))) (if (and (locate-library "gnuserv") (locate-library "itimer")) (byte-compile-file "bbdb-srv.el") (message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - gnuserv not found"))) To (a bit verbose, but...): (progn (or (fboundp (quote define-obsolete-variable-alias)) ;; The short version: (load "gnuserv-compat" t t)) ;; I guess I am not allowed to use "unless"... (if (not (locate-library "gnuserv")) (message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - gnuserv not found")) (if (not (locate-library "itimer")) (message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - itimer not found")) (byte-compile-file "bbdb-srv.el")) As for disabling building bbdb-srv.elc, this seems to need more changes---in configure to add the option, in top Makefile to add this as a subsystem, in lisp/Makefile to add a rule. Not in the next 15 minutes, though... :( --Boris --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/

Perhaps replacing:
===
# Check whether --with-vm-dir or --without-vm-dir was given.
if test "${with_vm_dir+set}" = set; then
withval="$with_vm_dir"
BBDB_VM=vm
VMDIR="${withval}"
fi;
# Various MTAs
# Default RMAIL & Gnus to on
enable_gnus=gnus
# Check whether --enable-vm or --disable-vm was given.
if test "${enable_vm+set}" = set; then
enableval="$enable_vm"
BBDB_VM=vm
fi;
===

Confure bugs/misfeatures?
I ran configure like this ./configure --enable-vm=no --enable-rmail=yes and in main Makefile I get: all: Makefile bbdb info rmail vm gnus shouldn't vm be omitted? Or perhaps I do not understand what "enable" option is intended to accomplish. I did find a line in configure that sets BBDB_VM to "vm" is the option is set, but no line that sets it to the empty string otherwise. Is that a bug? I also get repeated Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - gnuserv not found msgs. I looked at the code and it seem to execute the following to byte-compile bbdb-srv: (progn (or (fboundp (quote define-obsolete-variable-alias)) (if (locate-library "gnuserv-compat") (load "gnuserv-compat" t t))) (if (and (locate-library "gnuserv") (locate-library "itimer")) (byte-compile-file "bbdb-srv.el") (message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - gnuserv not found"))) I found similar code inside bbdb-srv.el file. I will not pretend to understand what this does. Irrespective of BBDB, I do use gnuserv and load it via gnuserv-compat, w/o any trouble. There is no such beast as itimer in the standard Emacs 20.7, or 21.3, or current CVS, by the way. Any suggestions? --Boris --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
