Hi. I'm in an environment (Linux, gcc compiler) where there is no advantage
that I can see to using the runConfigure script. The instructions mention
that it is possible to use configure directly, but they give very little
idea of how. A single example, showing how to set one of the xerces-c-specific
configure options, like -n or -t, using just the configure script would
be very helpful.
Even for those using runConfigure, I see no description in the build
instructions web page of what the effect of the different
settings for, say, the -n option would be, nor of what the default
values for the various options are. I found most of what I needed to
know by looking at runConfigure itself. Could the information there
be extracted to the web page? Also, I think it's standard practice
to add descriptions of package-specific options to the configure
script so that they are displayed with the command
./configure --help
Thanks,
Joanne
