Having different variables or options for it will be too bloated, in my opinion. I don't think there should be anything done with it. How about something like this: --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -3810,7 +3810,7 @@ fi if test "$libattr" = "yes" ; then echo "CONFIG_LIBATTR=y" >> $config_host_mak fi -if test "$virtfs" = "yes" ; then +if test "$virtfs" = "yes" && test "$target_softmmu" = "yes" ; then echo "CONFIG_VIRTFS=y" >> $config_host_mak fi if test "$vhost_scsi" = "yes" ; then (BTW, why configure uses this "test" instead of more readable [ ] ? ) > Also, disabling building tools and docs in general seems > broken: --disable-tools disables building qemu-img, for > instance, but not its documentation.
