Having run ./configure --help there is a list of options that can be tweaked in the future build, for example
--enable-luajit Enable LuaJit Support
--disable-env clearing/setting of ENV vars
Though any option can be used with enable and disable prefix, some are presented as --enable-me and other as --disable-me in the help output.
Is this supposed to hint me of default values, and if yes, how do I to figure them out? Because either way makes sense to me:
luajitis disabled by default and therefore it is presented as--enable-luajitso I can enable it by conveniently copy-pasting it from help output to command line.being listed with
--enablein help output indicates thatluajitis enabled by default.
