| Summary | 0004653: Inconsistency in ./configure usage regarding --with-PACKAGE | ||||
| Description | "./configure --with-mysql" will default to NO rather than YES. | ||||
| Additional Information | According to ./configure -h these syntaxes are allowed: Optional Packages: --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no) […] --with-sqlite=PFX base of SQLite installation --with-postgresql=[ARG] use PostgreSQL library [default=yes], optionally specify path to pg_config --with-mysql=PFX base of MySQL installation --with-microhttpd=PFX base of libmicrohttpd installation configure.ac indeed tries to satisfy all syntaxes at once, like --with-mysql=YES and --with-mysql=/opt/mariadb, but when given the also legal "--with-mysql" as opposed to "--without-mysql" it will act as if --with-mysql=NO had been given. This glitch probably applies to most --with* sections in configure.ac. Unfortunately I'm still not routined at hacking autoconf, so I pass this to anyone who is. P.S. Interesting how in this usage message --with-postgresql explains both syntaxes while the other options do not. That alone is inconsistent. | ||||
