#713 closed defect (invalid)

<configure> allows multiple prefixes

Description

The DTD v3.1 states:

<!ELEMENT configure ((param | prefix)*)> <!ATTLIST configure

base CDATA #IMPLIED command CDATA #IMPLIED>

From what I have been told, an asterisk denotes one or many. I would think that two prefix's would mess things up a bit.

Not "./configure --prefix=PREFIX", but "PREFIX ./configure".

And yes, it's confusing. :-)

Actually, I intended it this way. I use it like this:

<configure>

<prefix>CFLAGS="..."<prefix> <prefix>CXXFLAGS="..."<prefix> <param>--prefix=/usr<param>

</configure>

Works great, especially since my <prefix> elements frequently come from entities and it's much easier than combining them into a single string in the profile.
