Hi,
while updating the DirectFB package in buildroot version 1.4.6, I've ran
into the problem that the newly added tool mkdgifft needs a tool-chain
with C++ support. Now I wouldn't want to enable C++ support only for
this tool that most users of DirectFB will probably never need.
What's the best way to deal with this? We could of course compile with
--disable-tools, but there might be tools that need to be built (in our
particular case we need directfb-csource).
Should I try to come up with a patch that allows to enable particular
tools at configure time? Then one could pass "--disable-tools
--enable-tool=directfb-csource" to the configure script? Or should I
rather try to come up with a patch that checks the availability of C++
support in the tool-chain and disable the build of mkdgifft?
Maybe detecting C++ support and just disabling C++ based tools and whatever
would be the most user friendly choice. But it should be mentioned in the
configure summary.
