[FEATURE] The configure call in automake mode has no arguments #63

Closed jgabaut closed 10 months ago

Situation

When building a version supporting automake, amboso runs a plain ./configure with no options.
It would be nice to support passing arguments to the ./configure line.
One possible implementation would use a still free flag to pass the arguments as a single string, like:
- -<FLAG> "<ARGUMENTS AS ONE STRING>"

From 1.9.8, -C was repurposed to pass a string to the configure call.

It seems invil has a hard time accepting flag arguments having leading double-dash (eg. --enable-debug=yes). I think it would be wiser to change -C behaviour to use flag argument as a file to try getting the configure arguments.

Version 1.9.9 makes -C flag behave as expected by invil, taking a filename and reading its contents to pass them to ./configure. Closing.

It seems I forgot to ensure the wanted configuration gets passed to all builds when using init. It shall be included in 2.0.0.
