Autoconf only provides ./configure --with-mysql-server=ipaddress, so it looks like you're already using it. > > The other option was writing an initial start screen, but that would > require an additional gsetting, as well as all the code that goes with > checking for first start, every time my program runs. If your program is a gui, then that may be more appropriate anyways - especially since the person building your program for a distro is not going to have the same preferences for default settings as the person using your gui pre-built from a distro. But that's well outside the realm of autoconf, and something you may be better off asking on lists dedicated to developing with gsetting or other comparable gui setting managers. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
