Basically, i just used --bare-bones=tty or --bare-bones=x11 to test. I didn't monkey with the error cheching or debugging stuff, since i figured they were off in the net releases. I basically just kept checking the Installation file and doing a ldd xemacs to make sure features/libs were not getting compiled in. --- configure.in.orig Mon May 4 21:03:46 1998 +++ configure.in Thu May 7 00:27:05 1998 ＠＠ -524,6 +524,7 ＠＠ site_includes | \ site_libraries | \ site_prefixes | \ + bare_bones | \ site_runtime_libraries ) dnl If the value was omitted, get it from the next argument. if test "$valomitted" = "yes" ; then ＠＠ -788,6 +789,38 ＠＠ test "$with_dlmalloc" = "yes" && \ USAGE_ERROR(--with-dlmalloc=yes requires --use-minimal-tagbits=yes) with_dlmalloc=no +fi + +dnl --bare-bones is an alias to build a minimal xemacs + +if test -n "$bare_bones"; then + test -z "$with_cde" && with_cde="no" + test -z "$with_database_berkdb" && with_database_berkdb="no" + test -z "$with_database_dbm " && with_database_db="no" + test -z "$with_database_gnudbm" && with_database_gnudbm="no" + test -z "$with_gif" && with_gif="no" + test -z "$with_gpm" && with_gpm="no" + test -z "$with_jpeg" && with_jpeg="no" + test -z "$with_dialogs" && with_dialogs="no" + test -z "$with_menubars" && with_menubars="no" + test -z "$with_offix" && with_offix="no" + test -z "$with_png" && with_png="no" + test -z "$with_scrollbars" && with_scrollbars="no" + test -z "$with_shlib" && with_shlib="no" + test -z "$with_sound" && with_sound="no" + test -z "$with_tiff" && with_tiff="no" + test -z "$with_toolbars" && with_toolbars="no" + test -z "$with_xface" && with_xface="no" + test -z "$with_xpm" && with_xpm="no" + if test "$bare_bones" = "tty"; then + test -z "$with_tty" && with_tty="yes" + test -z "$with_x11" && with_x11="no" + test -z "$with_ncurses" && with_ncurses="no" + else + test -z "$with_x11" && with_x11="yes" + test -z "$with_tty" && with_tty="no" + test -z "$with_ncurses" && with_ncurses="no" + fi fi dnl# Ignore useless run-in-place flag sb> That's about what I see. sb> I've worked it out on my own, so I definitely have interest in it.
