They are *not* supposed to +represent the "most useful" options for developers in general. On the +contrary, the intent is that just running `./autogen.sh` without any +options at all should produce a buildable configuration for developers +with interest in working on the most commonly used parts of the code. + +See for how +TDF builds make use of these switches. (Especially, since `--with-package-format` +now triggers whether or not installation sets are built, all the relevant `*.conf` +files specify it, except for `LibreOfficeLinux.conf`, where the TDF build +instructions pass an explicit `--with-package-format="rpm deb"` in addition to +`--with-distro=LibreOfficeLinux`.) + +(Possibly the above is a misunderstanding, or maybe there never even +has been any clear consensus what situations these files actually are +intended for.) + +The files contain sets of configuration parameters, and can be passed +on the `autogen.sh` command line thus: + + ./autogen.sh --with-distro=LibreOfficeFoo + +Contrary to the above, in the Android case the amount of parameters +you just must use is so large, that for convenience it is always +easiest to use the corresponding distro-configs file. This is a bug +and needs to be fixed; also configuring for Android should ideally use +sane (or the only possible) defaults and work fine without any +parameters at all. -- cgit v1.2.3
