+1 for standard behaviour

* John H Palmieri <[email protected]> [2020-04-18 13:51:29]:

Several of us are in favor of requiring that, in order to build Sage,
people should have to run "./configure" before running "make". I would
further propose that "make" should not itself then run "configure".

Some advantages:

- This is the same procedure used with many other software packages.
- Configuration should be done separately from building, and this makes
that separation explicit.
- It would help to avoid the issue that ./configure gets run too often; for
example, "make distclean" may cause ./configure to run.

Some disadvantages:

- It adds one step or a least requires the typing of some extra characters
- It's not what we're used to doing to build Sage.

Ticket #29316 proposes doing at least some of this, and Sage 9.2 seems like
a good time to do this. Comments?
