Hi,
I'd like to ask rms to approve having all the configure options that set
the directory variables (prefix, bindir, ...) in standards.texi. So
that people who don't use autoconf know that they need to be implemented.
Apparently rms had some objection to --prefix when it was first

Hi folks,
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, so hopefully you
don't mind me asking?

options in configure.ac, e.g. "--report" to list the settings

Thus --disable-shared should be propagated automatically. Have you tried it?
