You said >Originally I let configure put all of the libraries in the LIBS variable, but I got a lot of pushback from folks with embedded systems and similar targets where the extra libraries were taking up too much space. Determing whether libraries are added to LIBS using --with flags would fix this problem, as they could disable unwanted libraries. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
