From 19c493e54c27a51d7a5372ff4b4cb4fa5ad74733 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Holger Weiss Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:19:22 +0100 Subject: configure.ac: Support --disable-maintainer-mode This | allows you to choose whether the so called "rebuild rules" should be | enabled or disabled. With AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([enable]), they are | enabled by default, otherwise they are disabled by default. In the | latter case, if you have AM_MAINTAINER_MODE in configure.ac, and run | `./configure && make', then make will *never* attempt to rebuild | configure, Makefile.ins, Lex or Yacc outputs, etc. I.e., this | disables build rules for files that are usually distributed and that | users should normally not have to update. | | The user can override the default setting by passing either | `--enable-maintainer-mode' or `--disable-maintainer-mode' to | configure. | | People use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE either because they do not want their | users (or themselves) annoyed by timestamps lossage (see CVS), or | because they simply can't stand the rebuild rules and prefer running | maintainer tools explicitly.
