Root building: webgui requires http

If the webgui component is selected but not http, the compialtion will fail:

gmake[2]: *** Brak reguł do zrobienia obiektu 'gui/webdisplay/RHTTP', wymaganego przez 'gui/webdisplay/G__ROOTWebDisplay.cxx'. Stop.
gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:38292: gui/webdisplay/CMakeFiles/G__ROOTWebDisplay.dir/all] Błąd 2

(sorry for wrong language) but it says that no rules to make RHTTP required by webdisplay. One needs to enable also http component to make it working. Cmake macros should probably detect that and pull http or give a feedback to the user about conflicting options, and should abort at configure step.

Hi Rafal ,

You did specify -Dhttp=no.
Either enable it on or you also need to disable -Dwebgui=no

Regards,
Sergey

It is clear for me what I did, I later changed it to -Dhttp=yes, but I think there should be diagnostics which detects that and tells the user that he made mistake. That’s what I proposed.

I see.

I will just disable webgui compilation if http is disabled.
By default compilation of http is always ON, therefore one only can intentionally disable it.
