[Gnash-commit] [sr #108015] Configuring with --enable-gui=fb and not --enable-device=rawfb results in build errors

[Shoop da Whoop]

Follow-up Comment #4, sr #108015 (project gnash):

If you are building gnash for the first time, it isn't obvious that trying to
enable hardware acceleration for X will "bypass configure" and cause the build
to fail.

My reason for building was to try out the non-default options, so taking the
defaults isn't a solution in this case.

It would be more user-friendly if configure noticed the configuration conflict
and stopped with an error message; since the build won't succeed, there isn't
much point in continuing.

Instead, configure finishes with some warnings (e.g. no Ming installed), and
then prints,
"Gnash should still compile even with these warnings.
If it doesn't, report the warnings as a bug."
