Subject: bug#32434: configure option without-xim is non-standard
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 20:28:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ed1sb1vlkf.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Package: emacs
Version: 26.1
Severity: minor
I'd always assumed the configure option --without-xim caused Emacs to
be built without XIM support. In fact, all it does is toggle the runtime
default as to whether XIM is *used* or not.
Apparently this is intentional, see thread at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2003-07/msg00061.html
I think it's wrong to have a build-time option for a feature that can be
controlled at run-time (by X resources).
