Hi,

Sometimes I want to perform a multifile string search in the elisp
sources (e.g. with Icicles, dired-do-moccur, or zgrep), say in the lisp/
directory.  I know about `find-function', finder.el, and such tools, but
sometimes, a simple file-based search is better suited.

But performing such a search is currently extremely slow, because I have
to decompress all the single elisp files.  OTOH, I don't care about some
MB more or less used disk space.

So, is it possible to provide a --without-compress-lisp configure flag?
I guess it is trivial to implement.


Thanks,

Michael.

I'm sorry about that, I should have searched for other reports first.  I
just forgot it.

But note that my problem is not about installation, but about using the
final program.  So, introducing a configure option seems appropriate to
me.

OTOH maybe there are not many people that would use this new option.

Is this GZIP_PROG= install setting documented somewhere?  I'm not that
familiar with make.  If it is findable if you know what you are
searching, then I'm ok with leaving everything as is.


Thanks,

Michael.

Interesting that there were two completely different motivations for the
suggestion: (1) reduce build time, (2) have uncompressed files available at
runtime.

> Summary: make GZIP_PROG= install

Yes, well, Jan's reply to that still seems pertinent:

 But on the other hand you have to specify the configure option
 once, but the GZIP_PROG= many times.  Maybe this is only a problem
 for developers.

There was no reply to his point.  The bug remained closed.

The only argument against adding the requested config switch was that the
GZIP_PROG works and it is generally good not to add more config options (!).

Taking Jan's point into consideration, just why is it important in this case not
to add another config option?

I'm not sure I understand the distinction.

Me?  I never "make install" and always run in-place, so there's no
compression involved.

For NS you have to do make install to run the program, there is no other in-place option.

configure --disable-ns-self-contained _should_ work uninstalled.
I would not be at all surprised to hear that it doesn't work, but that
would be a separate bug report...
