Patch for configure.ac to make building modplug conditional. (764 bytes, patch)

Description Will Newton 2008-04-01 16:51:12 UTC 
Currently there is no way to disable building of the modplug plugin. This can be a problem if building with a cross toolchain that has no C++ support, as the HAVE_CXX value will be taken from the host system and all your C++ will be built for the wrong arch.

This is in some ways an autoconf bug, but it would be nice if it was possible to disable building of the modplug plugin from configure.

Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2008-04-02 10:29:00 UTC 
This is already possible in a way by using the configure --with-plugins=a,b,c switch (to set the list of plugins you do want to build).

However, it doesn't seem to be possible to specify a negative list or disable dependencyless plugins individually right now, so changing bug description accordingly.

I'll take a look at this later.
