Note that it also generate options like --with-libmylib. The --with-libmylib-prefix is there to allow users to set the path to where mylib will be found. The --without-libmylib-prefix is there to allow users to disable automatic searching for mylib in $prefix. This is somewhat surprising, but it is useful once you know it. Read the docstrings for the parameters carefully. > It sounds a bit unclear to specify options such as > --without-libmylib-prefix to disable "mylib" (i.e. it sounds like > we're disabling mylib's *additional prefix* only, "--without-mylib" > would be more straightforward). It actually works as you think it should work, I believe. Use --without-mylib to disable mylib. /Simon
