Description Peter Kjellerstedt 2006-06-01 14:58:57 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If I use the configure option --disable-external the configuration fails.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run configure --disable-external

Actual results:
The configuration fails with the following message:

configure: error: conditional "USE_AALIB" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.


Expected results:
The configuration should succeed.


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
The problem is caused by the test for $BUILD_EXTERNAL on line 425 of configure.ac which surrounds some of the AM_CONDITIONAL(). This is not allowed, since AM_CONDITIONAL() may not be used conditionally itself.

Btw, it is the same with gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-bad and gst-plugins-ugly.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-06-17 15:10:21 UTC 
Fixed in -base, -good, -ugly, and -bad:

       * configure.ac:
         Fix --disable-extern (can't set conditionals conditionally,
         #343602).
