In looking at ./configure, it does some guessing. We have: `--enable-efiemu' Build and install the efiemu runtimes (default=guessed) `--enable-grub-emu' Build and install the `grub-emu' debugging utility (default=guessed) `--enable-grub-emu-usb' Build and install the `grub-emu' debugging utility with USB support (default=guessed) `--enable-grub-fstest' Build and install the `grub-fstest' debugging utility (default=guessed) `--enable-grub-mkfont' Build and install the `grub-mkfont' utility (default=guessed) ------ I am trying to see how configure guesses. It looks like: enable-efiemu depends on gcc supporting -m64 -mcmodel=large -mno-red-zone -nostdlib enable-grub-emu depends on ncurses enable-grub-emu-usb depends on enable-grub-emu and libusb enable-grub-fstest really has a default of yes enable-grub-mkfont depends on fontconfig ------- Is this analysis right? Should the description of enable-grub-fstest be changed to yes in configure.ac? Actually, I would think the four testing/debug programs above should default to no with perhaps a global --enable-testing-programs to turn them all on. Of course grub-mkfont should be on by default if fontconfig is available, as it is now. --- Bruce
