What’s the point of using --enable-monolithic-build=yes ?
See Pavel's response for what you were probably most interested in. My response is simply that as the release manager I want to test as many options as possible. > PS. Im not going to try it within the source directory. I respect that. I did not do in-source builds either but for some reason make distcheck only works in-source. I hope that someday we get to the bottom of that. I'm not sure if we should be concerned that you can't build a monolithic build or not on Mac. Does anyone think this is a problem we should be concerned with? Scott
