| hi!
| is there a way to tell configure to check params like --with-foo?
|
| ./configure --foo failes with an error
| ./configure --with-foo doesn't fail ... it just ignores the
| "--with-foo" option.
|
|
| this might also apply to --enable-foo
|
| ./configure --with-foo should fail with the message, that the option
| called "foo" is not available.
That's on purpose: in case you are embeded in a huge tree, with a main
configure dispatching arguments to everybody... I have not found a
means to have both this property, and some form of checking. Expect
maybe a simple warning, but we cannot make it an error.
