Build tag really optional?

 
On line 570, the README file in RC6 says the following:
 
"                  The <build-types>  argument  is optional.  When  not
                  specified a build type of 11s is assumed."
 
I tried that but it doesn't appear to build anything.
 
Also, the Makefiles on Unix-like platorms supported a BUILDMODE notation
(e.g. BUILDMODE=debug,pthreads,shared) in addition to the coded build
tags (e.g. 11s, 15d, etc.).  Do the Windows build scripts also support a
build mode notation or something similar?

What does it do? (It would help to see the command you gave and
the output.)

FWIW, I was pleasantly surprised just the other day when I typed
configure with no command line arguments and the script figured
out that I had MSVC 8 installed as my default compiler and set
up a buildspace for it (I think under ./build).

No. I'd like 4.2.0 to stay as a snapshot of the release. 4.2.x
will evolve as we make changes after the 4.2.0 release (i.e.,
it'll become 4.2.1, 4.2.2, etc.)

  Travis, I'm just fixed it
(http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=587201&view=rev), sorry.

  I've commited the fix in branches/4.2.x, but maybe it should be in
4.2.0 for
consistency with README file?

  Farid.

Just FYI, this quote is from the 'VisualStudio Setup Instructions'
section. Yes, you are correct, if you don't specify the option, you
don't get a build.

It should be a pretty simple fix. I'll file a bug and add a quick patch
to use a default value of 11s as advertised.

No. It appears that the generated build batch file [ex.
build-msvc-8.0.bat] only supports the /BUILDTYPE option with parameters
8[s,d], 11[s,d], 12[s,d] or 15[s,d].
