The default is OFF so I think you meant your question to read: "Should the PREBUILT_DOC option default to OFF? Seems like the docs are present...." ^^^ The documentation is normally pre-built for the tarball, but obviously it is not available for a fresh CVS checkout. So actually a user-choice of options here does not make much sense (because if they guess wrong, an attempt will be made to either install prebuilt documentation that does not exist or the existing prebuilt documentation will not be installed.) OFF is the safer default choice if we stick with the current logic of having a user choice (guess). However, a better thing to do is simply test for whether the documentation has been prebuilt. If that is true or the user has specified building the documentation, the documentation should be installed, but otherwise not. (I have generalized and ignored some complicating differences in logic between when the build tree is/is not equal to the source tree.) Any volunteers to implement that improved CMake documentation logic? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
