[vlc-devel] commit: Add a --disable-vlc configure flag to not build VLC. (Sam Hocevar )

[git version control]

vlc | branch: master | Sam Hocevar <sam at zoy.org> | Wed Mar 19 13:18:09 2008 +0000| [16c69ade84edabaf8c861f1e4f478ae815f94970]

Add a --disable-vlc configure flag to not build VLC.

In some cases (eg. when building binary packages) one only needs libvlc
and libvlc-control and does not wish to build or install VLC binaries.
This --disable-vlc flag saves us from manually removing the unwanted
binaries after "make install".
