Since the intended purpose of "make dist" is to create distribution tarballs, such as those published on FSF mirrors, it really wouldn't be appropriate for it to do anything other than fail, if any distributable component is missing; IMO, "--without-doc" should not apply to the "make dist" goal. > For consistency with other configure options, > > --with-doc[=ARG] [ARG=yes] > --without-doc (same as --with-doc=no) > > is probably best. If it's implemented using autoconf's AC_ARG_WITH macro, (as it should be), that would be automatic. -- Regards, Keith.
