RE: make switch options

[Samuel Klatchko]

--with-X is most likely an option to configure.  Many open projects now have you build your code by doing:

 

  configure --options

  make

  make install

 

configure has a style of turning on features by doing --with-featurename and turning them off with --without-featurename.

 

Try to run configure again and see if it helps.

Subject: make switch options

 

i am installing a software on debian. To install this software correctly "make" must run as follows

 

make --with-126

 

But problem is "make" is  not supporting the switch "--with-126". Then i installed gnu make 3.81 but problem is still there. Can you help
