In order to ease maintenance and readability of this very essential script in the build process, we have decided that configure.ac needed a major rewrite. Because this script cascades everywhere towards the compilation chain, we will work on the rewrite in parallel.
To use the new compile script, do the following:
./autogen.sh alt
The configure.ac does not exist anymore in svn. A link to configure_orig.ac (previous version) is created by autogen.sh.
Changes
- The new configure script will tend to a more standard autotools approach by changing options names.
- There are two main direction: static build or shared build.
- Each dependency (shared objects or archive) can be specified.
- Not found dependencies falls back to download/compile mode.
- Download/compile respects main direction.
- Each dependency can be explicitly compiled statically
Options
--build-static (default: false)
variable: STATIC_BUILD (bool)
Defines whether to build a static version or not. There is no --build-shared option.
with-gecko-sdk=
variable: GECKO_SDK_PATH (path)
Sets path to the gecko-sdk.
