That sounds very reasonable. I'm just wondering if you could add OPTIONS
to enable those features however ...
The short answer is: yes, based on concrete user feedback I have added
and will continue to add OPTIONS.
Excellent. :)
The longer answers is: Wine itself has 44 --enable/--disable knobs and I
guess we do not want to have that many OPTIONS nor do we want to build it
with the maximum number of features and thus dependencies. What I am
trying to do is to have those features that are relevant for most users
always built, those where I see little to no use always disabled, and
those in between as OPTIONS. As I receive input and suggestions from
users, I move things between those three categories, the most common,
but not sole, move being the one from the disabled to the OPTIONS bucket.
Does that sound like a reasonable approach?
Yes of course, and I certainly agree that we don't want 44 knobs for one
port. I would suggest that you consider grouping multiple related
configure --options into one OPTIONS knob, but you've probably already
considered that. :)
hth,
Doug
