Tip #830 Debug errors in configure procedures
Last time, I had to install a package with a configure Script. There are a lot of parameters to adjust the installation. Unfortunately the configure doesn't end with success. A dubios error message appears and I don't find out what's wrong.Also the modern oracle 'google' doesen't give a hint. But after hours I find a quick and easy solution:
sh -x ./configure ... configure_options ...
First there is a long rolling of letters, but afterwards, when the error appears, you can easy find out what the mistake is, because the debug modus tells you.
