Is there a more scalable way to do this, perchance?
I was trying to make the option-generator into a function which
could be
called in the %description section or in the %configure line so you'd
only need to maintain one area. I haven't figured that out yet (or
determined if it were possible) ... if not possible, I'd be willing
to hack
out the %description flags if you'd accept the other area.
How about this -- what if we use the same syntax, but only use the
5-10 most popular configure options? (e.g., location of gm/mx/mvapi/
openib and a few others)
Then have a generic "pass this entire string through to configure"
option such that you can do something like:
rpmbuild --with gm=/opt/gm --with-whole-string "--enable-debug --
with-some-other-option=foo"
So the common cases will be covered via the --with interface, but if
you need to do something special (like pass in --enable-debug and/or
--with-some-other-option), you can.
Could that be done?
