*shrug*, I don't have a sample size, its still a pain in the ass. Even Gentoo has a page bitching about autoconf automagic dependencies somewhere. > Right now all those 100 developers have to have a long list of options, > half of them because they are needed, other half because they'd prefer > not to build repeatedly stuff they already have installed I don't really get why developers are using vast long lists of options. ./autogen.sh + a few dev-mode options like werror, dbgutil or debug seems to make sense ./autogen.sh --with-system-libs if people want to skip building stuff they have installed already Surely all the other micro-level with-system-this-that-or-the-other should be left to the distro maintainers to work around what they've got or not in any given release. If there's other stuff being turned on all the time, surely we can just default those on.
