Let me point to an example: There's a compile time switch
"BACKEND_BUNDLE" in
NSApplication.m. What does it do? How do you change it via
'./configure'?
There's nothing about it at all in './configure --help'. It's not
referenced
in Documentation.
This probably makes the backend compile as a bundle if it's turned on.
It's probably experimental, but it should probably be a configure
option *looks to Alex M.*
It _is_ a configure option. :)
make$ ./configure --help
...
--disable-backend-bundle Compile gui backend as a library
...
There's also a section about it in make/Documentation/install.texi .
The fact that it's in -make is a bit non-obvious. ISTR that there were
technical reasons (the option has a big effect on how apps are linked),
but from a quick look, I can't see any now, so it might be possible
(but
maybe not preferable) to move it to -gui.
