sciteco/m4/ax_check_enable_debug.m4, branch v2.5.2 Scintilla-based Text Editor and COrrector added ./configure --enable-debug and make sure that NDEBUG is defined properly 2021-10-23T22:35:11+00:00 Robin Haberkorn robin.haberkorn@googlemail.com 2021-10-23T22:15:59+00:00 aa00bf10d986bf3a022c33be1cb79fdd4dadf438 * This simplifies writing CFLAGS="-g -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g -O0". * We build "release" binaries by default.
