I want to submit an update to the INSTALL file. In looking at
./configure, it does some guessing. We have:
`--enable-efiemu'
Build and install the efiemu runtimes (default=guessed)
`--enable-grub-emu'
Build and install the `grub-emu' debugging utility (default=guessed)
`--enable-grub-emu-usb'
Build and install the `grub-emu' debugging utility with USB support
(default=guessed)
`--enable-grub-fstest'
Build and install the `grub-fstest' debugging utility
(default=guessed)
`--enable-grub-mkfont'
Build and install the `grub-mkfont' utility (default=guessed)
------
I am trying to see how configure guesses. It looks like:
enable-efiemu depends on gcc supporting
-m64 -mcmodel=large -mno-red-zone -nostdlib
enable-grub-emu depends on ncurses
enable-grub-emu-usb depends on enable-grub-emu and libusb
enable-grub-fstest really has a default of yes
enable-grub-mkfont depends on fontconfig
-------
Is this analysis right?
Should the description of enable-grub-fstest be changed to yes in
configure.ac?
Actually, I would think the four testing/debug programs above should
default to no with perhaps a global --enable-testing-programs to turn
them all on.
Of course grub-mkfont should be on by default if fontconfig is
available, as it is
now.
