no.
as said before, i see (!) configure as a way to build a package
optimized for the machine that configure is executed on.
it is not a tool to make the most stripped down version.
if you want configure to create a most generic package, then you will
have to pass arguments to it (e.g. "--disable-NV")
The autobuild machines most definitely do not have nvidia cards:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > lspci
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage
Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c)
So these builds do not run on the machine they were built on.
.hc
When building packages (.deb, .tar.gz, whatever), its much more
important that it run on all machines, than its very well
optimized on
specific machines. Later, it would be possible to add a pd-gem-
nvidia
package, etc. etc.
this is correct, but as said above, configure is not necessarily the
tool to create packages that run on all machines.
