What would be the point? PREFIX/doc/examples occupies over 3/4 of PREFIX/doc. What gain would there be in '--without-doc --with-examples', other than bypassing the netpbm dependency? Might as well install netpbm (recommended in README) and build the whole shebang. > And how fully blown do you actually want it: should a `make dist' > fail and complain if documentation (plus) is not complete, or is > it ok to simply assume someone who runs `make dist' knows about > the make system? Can't imagine a situation where 'make dist' would want to exclude documentation. Assume nothing. :) For consistency with other configure options, --with-doc[=ARG] [ARG=yes] --without-doc (same as --with-doc=no) is probably best. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
