It is a feature, not a bug. From the documentation, node "Choosing Package Options": `configure' scripts do not complain about `--enable-FEATURE' options that they do not support. This behavior permits configuring a source tree containing multiple packages with a top-level `configure' script when the packages support different options, without spurious error messages about options that some of the packages support. An unfortunate side effect is that option spelling errors are not diagnosed. No better approach to this problem has been suggested so far. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
