It would be usefull if configure would abort when a
langauge is specified using --with-java for example but
not enough information is found. (java needs three
options to work fully for example)
Bit annoying to find out it cheerfully ignored a language
after compiling/testing.
It would arguably be nicer if it did, but it only affects the test-suite not what target languages are supported by the built
swig
, and configure does at least now clearly report which languages were found at the end of the run, e.g.:[...]
Given nobody's implemented the "abort" part in nearly 19 years, I think that summary is probably good enough and I'm going to close this now. If anyone wants to work on it, please submit a pull request at https://github.com/swig/swig
