add instructions for configure options
DanielKehoe opened this issue · comments
The README says:
You can also specify many other options that will be listed when running ./configure -h.
Can we have an example? It's a great feature and I'd like to see the options but I couldn't figure out how to run ./configure -h.
I think the link below will help you 👍

I think it it necessary to list all configure options in README, but different ruby versions have different config options.
So, we don't do it now.
I was mulling this over for a bit and was wondering if we could add a --configure-help
switch to install
which would fetch Ruby, extract it and then run ./configure -h
.
This would probably entail the following additional work:
- Ensure
install
will use an already downloaded tarball instead of re-fetching. - Add a
clean
command to remove potential leftover downloads.
What do you think?
