[Build System] HAIKU_INCLUDE_PATENTED_CODE doesn't work

[diver]

I've added HAIKU_INCLUDE_PATENTED_CODE = 1 ; in my UserBuildConfig.
To be sure I removed old freetype objects
rm -rf generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/libs/freetype2
But Appearance still says that I have disabled anti-aliasing.

I think you have to remove the Appearance objects as well. Just do a "jam clean" if in doubt. That's how I tested this feature and I am pretty sure that it worked then. :-)

I've removed Appearance objects like this:

cd  haiku/trunk/src/preferences/appearance
jam clean

Rebuilt my image, but nothing changed, so I went ahead and commented out HAIKU_INCLUDE_PATENTED_CODE switch like this:

then I've removed Appearance objects again and now Appearance doesn't show that message.

You can't set this variable in your UserBuildConfig. You have to use the configure option.

[diver]

How should one run configure to enable it?

[mmadia]

configure --include-patented-code <other configure options>

This and other options are mentioned in : configure --help

[diver]

Thanks.
