I understand that it is difficult to fully describe practical

its frequent revisions. In spite of this difficulty, I am wondering
why typical examples for configure are not given in, for example,
README or homepage. In README, concrete names of systems, such as
Linux 32bit with gcc or OSX (10.4), are listed for those systems which
have been tested. Hence, at least, for these systems, it is possible
to provide concrete form for configure command. Even these minimum
information is very useful for beginners who do not have any idea
which options must be used. This would significantly reduce questions
like me.
Sure -- what do you have in mind? I think the reason we didn't
include command lines is because in many cases, you don't really need
many (any?) additional command line flags. For example:
./configure
make all install
Would give you a default configuration with default compilers (GNU)
installed into /usr/local.
Do you have some suggestions for what kind of examples we should
include?
