[PATCH] Add configure option for maintainer mode (903 bytes, patch)
2016-02-09 16:00 UTC, Mattias Hansson 		none Details | Review

Description Mattias Hansson 2016-02-09 15:59:20 UTC 
Users should not be affected by certain tool version in order to build a project with autotools. libxml2 does not support maintainer mode. By adding the support for maintainer mode, it is possible for users to toggle checks for autotools-related tools.

Example:
In my case, I wasn't able to build libxml2 because aclocal-1.13 was missing from my machine. With AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, I'm able to configure libxml2 with '--disable-maintainer-mode' which will disable checks for aclocal.
