Description Jesse 2003-10-29 05:30:57 UTC

Version:           KDevelop 3.0 CVS (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

Currently configure offers options for --enable-LANGUAGE but this doesn't make any sense.  KDevelop seems to compile everything by default anyhow.  What does --enable-LANGUAGE mean?

configure should do one of two things:
1) Compile _nothing_ by default and use --enable-LANGUAGE to specify which to compile OR
2) Compile _everything_ by default and use --disable-LANGUAGE to disable them

Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2003-10-29 15:19:54 UTC

Compile all by default, unless you tell it otherwise (i.e., select some specific languages).

By the way, this is how every autoconf-based project does. I don't see why change.

Comment 2 Jesse 2003-10-29 20:17:57 UTC

Right, but this is not how it is right now.  There is no --disable-LANGUAGE feature so I can't --disable-ada and --disable-fortran ...

I was just giving two ways of doing it since the --enable-ada or --enable-fortran is redundant since they are compiled by default anyhow.
