Description Sven Neumann 2002-02-13 21:02:46 UTC 
To be able to build static binaries using Pango, a --disable-modules
configure switch is needed. Similar to how it works for pixbuf modules
in GTK+ this would allow people to include the shaper modules they
need (using --with-included-modules).
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-02-13 22:43:31 UTC 
Why can't you just not install/distribute the dynamic modules
if you don't want them?
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2002-02-14 13:41:07 UTC 
I could but I'm trying to keep the changes needed for our buildsystem
as small as possible. IMO others would also benefit from a 
--disable-modules option. It is not a showstopper however...
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2002-02-14 23:18:57 UTC 
I think what people would expect would be
 
 --with-dynamic-modules
 --without-dynamic-modules
 --with-dynamic-modules=tamil-xft

The first two are a small pain to implement, the third one
a major pain. But if we don't do that then there is a weird
inconsistency.

Patch.

Attaching patch.  Works here, didn't test extensively though.
Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2005-10-01 10:39:27 UTC 
The patch defines automake conditional HAVE_DYNAMIC_MODULES.  I think we may as
well use that to decide whether define ENABLE_ENGINE.
Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2005-10-05 00:19:44 UTC 
Stepping up priority because of the patch.

        Fixes bug #71414, allowing to disable building/installing modules.

        * configure.in: Add support for --with-dynamic-modules.

        * */Makefile.am: Adapt to the above change.
