I'm just saying that the --enable-tests option is useless and adds little benefit. All the suggestions above are already applied on eobj so they are possible and work... So my suggestion is essentially: when possible, don't require a redundant configure option to do something you can easily do later... > >> 2. Not build unrelated crap in "all".

CC widget_preview_flip.o CCLD widget_preview_flip CC widget_preview_flipselector.o CCLD widget_preview_flipselector ... I'e all the widget preview stuff, and those are hardly needed by the average Joe. Also, in my pov quicklaunch shouldn't be built by default either, but that's another thing to think about... :) -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
