[RFC] If bindings are enabled, install them with standard 'install' target
MY PROPOSAL:
If the user chooses to enable a set of bindings using "configure",
then we should compile and install them with the standard targets. For
example, if the user types "./configure --enable-javahl=yes && make &&
make install", then we should include JavaHL with the Subversion
installation.
JUSTIFICATION:
- If users choose to enable JavaHL, then clearly they want to compile
and install it. If they don't want to install JavaHL, then they
wouldn't have enabled it.
- For most programs, the standard "all" and "install" targets compile
and install the entire program. If users wish to enable or disable
specific sections of a program, then they can do so by specifying
different options when they call configure. See the official GNU
coding standards for Makefiles at
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html>.
If the Subversion team is in favour of my proposal, then I will submit
a patch to implement it. Please let me know :)
Cheers,
David

Thanks for the reminder, Justin. I'd forgotten the issues here.

I don't understand. Are there users who would want to enable
compilation of the bindings in configure, but would not want to
compile them?

We've had this discussion several times before and every time we decide
against installing the bindings by default.
Ben Reser's post in the last thread has a number of points that would have
to be addressed before doing this.
At this point, I see no reason to change our position. -- justin

+1. Is anyone against?
I will not have the time/expertise to review and apply these patches,
however. I hope someone else will, but David, I hope you're prepared
to be as patient with this patch as you had to be with your last batch
of JavaHL patches :-) (most of which did get integrated eventually, I
believe).
