Here is the real deal. Look at utils/README in the source tarball. You'll see this. "After building clisp as described below, run the TL Build --enable-xindy CLISP=$clisp_builddir/clisp to include xindy in the build. It is disabled by default." Xindy is disabled by default. That is why there is an option listed in ./configure --help as --enable-xindy whereas almost all other options are listed as --disable-something. > - libfontconfig (or --disable-xetex --disable-xdvipdfmx), ibid. > - X11 headers and libraries (or --without-x), ibid. I'm not really understanding this. Are you saying that I need to add to the configure line some options? > Optional dependencies are probably OK.

I don't see a need for that because it is mentioned in the "command expanations" section about using --with-system-* and to review the output from ./configure --help. To me, the output is much better than anything I can do. I do; however, appreciate your comments.
