[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq compilation and dependencies: compilation macros and help

[SALA MASSIMO]

Kevin, could be a misunderstanding?

My original question is about
dnsmasq --help


I don't need to discover how dnsmasq is built.
So I don't need to parse
     dnsmasq -v


Let talk about end users.
Example, I disabled dhcp.
I expect for the users running
     dnsmasq --help
they don't see any help about dhcp features.


However, thank you for your suggestion.
It suggests to me to check with dnsmasq 2.80.

Best regards, Massimo

Hi Kevin

A quick glance at the source code: it seem to me the help arguments aren't conditioned by the compilation macros.

Mmh we are saying different behaviours.

Please Kevin
* can you write one or two options you use in compilation and exactly what text do you search in the output of "dnsmasq -v" ?
* which version of dnsmasq?


I will compile dnsmasq 2.80, check again and post here my findings.

Best regards, Massimo
