If you just run ./configure for the bindings without any --with-LANGUAGE options, it should build bindings for any languages for which it finds the required development tools installed. So there shouldn't be a critical need to document these options all over the place (and they're documented in ./configure --help, as configure options conventionally are).

This seems to be working for me - is that not working for you?

Milestone: 1.3.4
Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I've updated the FAQ entry (since 1.3.2 has been out for ages, and even been superseded by 1.3.3) and added a brief mention there.

Python 3 was missing from INSTALL in xapian-bindings, updated in [4043a07cf0dbab347ac3a6deced4ba8d040161de].

The website docs generally document stable released versions, so I don't think it's appropriate there.
