I've asked Madkiss this before, and even sent him the trivial patch that changes it iirc, but he never told me the reason for keeping it as is. IMHO, -no-stl is wrong, and it is no longer recommended by KDE for qt-copy. Also look at the following log entries of qt-copy/README.qt-copy: revision 1.209 date: 2003/04/24 11:52:00; author: faure; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 Well we can't really recommend -no-stl anymore then. revision 1.252 date: 2004/04/01 20:17:39; author: faure; state: Exp; lines: +1 -2 The configure line was there twice in this file - once with -no-stl and once without it. The cvs history shows that after the kde-core-devel discussion (where it was agreed to remove -no-stl), it was only removed from one of the two places. -> let's have the options in only one place. Madkiss, can you please tell us your reasons for not changing it ? thanks domi
