Use --without-sound to disable sound support.
-Use --disable-features if you want to build small executable with
-the minimal dependencies from an external libraries, at the cost
-of disabling most of the features which are enabled by default.
-Using --disable-features is equivalent to --without-sound --without-dbus
---without-libotf --without-selinux --without-xft --without-gsettings
---without-gnutls --without-rsvg --without-xml2 --without-gconf
---without-imagemagick --without-m17n-flt --without-jpeg --without-tiff
---without-gif --without-png --without-gpm. Note that --disable-features
-leaves X support enabled, and using GTK2 or GTK3 toolkit creates a lot
-of library dependencies. So if you want to build small executable with
-the very basic X support, use --disable-features --with-x-toolkit=no.
-For the smallest possible executable without X, use --disable-features
---without-x.
+Use --without-all if you want to build a small executable with the minimal
+dependencies on external libraries, at the cost of disabling most of the
+features that are normally enabled by default. Using --without-all is
+equivalent to --without-sound --without-dbus --without-libotf

+enabled, and using the GTK2 or GTK3 toolkit creates a lot of library
+dependencies. So if you want to build a small executable with very basic
+X support, use --without-all --with-x-toolkit=no. For the smallest possible
+executable without X, use --without-all --without-x. If you want to build
+with just a few features enabled, you can combine --without-all with
+--with-FEATURE. For example, you can use --without-all --with-dbus
+to build with DBus support and nothing more.
Use --with-wide-int to implement Emacs values with the type 'long long',
even on hosts where a narrower type would do. With this option, on a
corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard, just a matter
of editing in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs.
-The `configure' script is built from `configure.ac' by the `autoconf'
-program. You need at least the version of autoconf specified in the
-AC_PREREQ(...) command to rebuild `configure' from `configure.ac'.
+The `configure' script is built from `configure.ac' by the
+`autogen.sh' script, which checks that `autoconf' and other build
+tools are sufficiently up to date and then runs the build tools.
