The Unix configure script behaves like any configure script on Unix. It's expected that it honours those variables because every configure script does. I don't think we need to document what's the minimum functionality expected from any configure script. > > If we recommend that, why not use > > that ourselves? > > Well, I just think most people compiling on their own will miss this > optimization then.

As I said, we don't have to do anything on Windows. Just compile with MSVC 2012. It generates SSE2 code by default. As for people compiling Qt from sources, they're getting the same optimisations that they're getting in other software. I think it's more important to be consistent than to get better code (however better it is). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
