[Bug: 21.5-b29] configure doesn't know its own options

Karl Kleinpaste writes: XEmacs has needs for special treatment of some options, and our users (including ourselves) are consistently unable to determine whether a particular option should be a "--with" option or an "--enable" option. So we've written code to process our special options and to recognize "with" and "enable" as equivalent on *all* options. The autoconf people have decided that danger of users getting totally bogus results because of unrecognized typos in option names is high, so they now helpfully warn on any option that was not declared with an Autoconf Approved[tm] macro. Actually it understands all of the options, but it pretends it doesn't know *any* of them. One of these days we'll get around to spoofing the Autoconf Seal of Approval[tm], but in the meantime the easiest way to disable the warning is to re-autoconf with Autoconf 2.61. I probably should add that to my release script, actually. :-( _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
