New configure option

Post by MeddlingMonk »

I just noticed a new (to me, anyway) configure option: --enable-mods. It obviously isn't needed to play mods, so what's different about a build with or without it enabled?

If you use the option, 'make' also builds the mods, and 'make install' installs them. It will probably not be in the correct location unless you use the default ones.

OK, so it's an option to build the mods rather than download and install them separately. Probably only useful if you haven't already got the modes set up, then.

Or you want to stay up to date on the mods :)
