--without-gflags is not working

[jacobwpeng]

Platform: Fedora 24 x86-64
Autoconf version: 2.69

./configure --without-gflags
(lots of output)
...
checking for main in -lgflags... yes

and inside config.status
D["HAVE_LIB_GFLAGS"]=" 1"

So how can I build without gflags?

[kiukotsu]

so why not install the gflags? it is easy to install gflags :)

[jacobwpeng]

Well, I use Qt5 as my app framework and I just don't want to have two command line parser(gflags & QCommandLineParser) exist in my project :)

[kiukotsu]

after i remove gflags lib , i tried to run ./configure --without-gflags, then i got this

checking for main in -lgflags... no
checking for gtest-config... no
checking for main in -lgtest... no

so, i cant reproduce your results...

additionally, i can successfully install glog lib in this way. (without gflags lib)

maybe you should update something, i guess.

[jacobwpeng]

That's what i'm trying to figure out. Thanks anyway.

By the way, I have gflags installed on my server but i don't want to use it. Maybe that's the difference from your test.

the flag doesn't ever exist and i think the only way to do this is to manually patch configure.ac and use autoconf to generate a new one.

./autogen.sh && ./configure --without-gflags && make

Cannot build, and still need gflags.
