Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I have a question very much related to this issue. I'm fairly new to packaging and just filed my first ITP, and was wondering about this problem too. In my case, I would need to set different configure flags depending on whether the documentation should be built or not since the default target also builds the docs if enabled. I would like to avoid building the docs (as opposed to just not building the package), since it is a pretty lengthy process. How would I achieve that? Separate build trees? Or moving the configure step into the various build steps, and just reconfigure every time? Thanks Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
