[Hamlib-developer] RFC #1018--conditional builds for radio classes

[Nate B. <n0...@n0...>]

https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/issues/1018

Concept is:

./configure --with-yaesu --with-icom

Which would build the main parts required by all and only radio types in
the yaesu and icom radio classes.

Hamlib takes an eternity to build (particularly on an SOC) and most
users have one or two brands of radios and don't need all the rest.

Also, consider --with-rotator, --with-antenna for those who need them,
and then the rest of us can avoid the 'noid.

I don't expect any feedback. I figure if you find the idea worth doing,
you'll just do it. ;)

---------

My opinion is that with 40 radio backends at present that this might
exceed the command line limit on some OS.  I can appreciate the idea and
especially the long compile time on an SOC, but most will use a
distribution's precompiled package (Linux).  The gain seems minimal for
the pain.

73, Nate
