--- Comment #3 from desrt <[email protected]> --- I consider it to be an automake "best practice" to fail instead of silently disabling a feature. The reason for that is simple: the person who downloads and pulseaudio may simply not have the libcap development headers installed. I think it's better to give them a chance to choose to install them or to explicitly specify --without-cap. If I make your suggested modification then the build will just go ahead without capabilities support, which would be a reduction in functionality (or in this case security) just because the user happened not to have a particular package installed. The same logic applies to people who are making distro packages as well... I think that it's always better to let them know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
