At one stage I thought of stealing some vertical space for 8 or 10
columns of 10 pixels or so to show the state of the most importand
build flag. I still might do that, if I can standardise the OS and
Compiler info so that they get shorter (e.g. is just knowing that we
have gcc n.m.o enough, or do we need the longer info produced by gcc
-v? I'm inclined to reduce it to n.m.o.)
I have reduced some of the clutter from OS names/versions and compiler
names/versions, and can reduce some more in the status column, that
means we will be able to have a bunch of flags indicating what build
criteria were used. I am mainly inclined to flag these:
--enable-cassert
--enable-debug
--enable-nls
--enable-integer-datetimes
--with-perl
--with-python
--with-tcl
--with-krb5
--with-openssl
If we have to drop any for reasons of space it would probably be the
first two. Given the fact there are 9 of these I could make it a simple
set of digits [1-9] and provide a legend, although that might not be
quite so visually pleasing.
Any other bids?
cheers
