I can not agree with you. This is a really common problem than 'something doesn't work' just because build script say NO any error and even no warning for options that user EXPLICITLY turned on. If I want to build libraries within PNG support I want to see an error with --enable-zlib flag if zlib not found for whatever reason. But today I forced to check configure output *each time* to be sure that all options important to me are not silently ignored/disabled by build system! I can understand 'everything is enabled by default'. I can understand the --disable-* flags. But I really can't understand why --enable-* flags may be 'ignored' by configure. ----------------------------------------------- Kirill Gavrilov, Software designer.
