Description Dan Kegel 2014-01-22 18:43:01 UTC 
./configure --prefix /opt/foo works fine, but --prefix=/opt/foo
is not recognized.  This is only a trivial problem for humans,
but it's less trivial for metabuild systems that would like
to pass the same default configure line to all packages.

It wouldn't be too hard to support = across the board, but
because these metabuild systems tend to use only a very small
number of options, they can be pacified with a trivial patch
that adds = support for just the particular options they use.
That's what I did to get me past the problem.  Here's the patch I used.

Sorry, had a cable modem outage just as I was posting, and didn't recover well.

Thanks, I'll include the patch in the next GIT update.
Comment 4 Dimitri van Heesch 2014-04-21 10:09:21 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.7. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information 
that you think can be relevant (preferrably in the form of a self-contained example).
