In this case I used --with becase we *want* an argument, being a directory (which testsuite?). Beside, it's badly implemented as it won't warn you about the directory being invalid, missing or --without being called. I'm used to --enable-feature often working w/out an arg. Anywa, feel free to change this however you want. If you also fix the *required* arg thing better yet :) --strk; > > There is something on the intended difference in the Gnu Autobook > http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_14.html#SEC14 > > For this switch, for the mp3-renderer and in the future, I think we > should be using --enable/--disable in every case. > > M > > > _______________________________________________ > Gnash-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev -- () ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ Keep it simple! _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
