I've thought another way to describe it: "./configure --your-different-option" before my last post, but IMO the previous paragraph has stated this very clearly: "If you want to build Emacs again with different configure options, first clean the source directories:" It already implies that we _need_ different configure option(s), so we don't need the second extra line. What's your opinion? -- Best regards, Xue Fuqiao. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
