Re: [help-gengetopt] Build dependencies

[Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray]

Just to repeat my earlier question, is source-highlight necessary for
performing:
$ ./configure && make && make check
...on the 2.21 release tar ball?

My understanding is it is not required, since everything goes on peacefully. :-)

As for your question of:
"whether some checks can be enabled only in maintainer mode?"

You could check for a particular flag in configure.ac to turn on some
extra checks.
eg., ./configure --alpha or ./configure --hacking

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
