SYNOPSIS

[--site=SITE] [--prefix=DIR] [--exec_prefix=DIR]
[--program_prefix=DIR] [--tmpdir=DIR]
[--with-PACKAGE[=YES/NO]] [--without-PACKAGE]
[--enable-FEATURE[=YES/NO]] [--disable-FEATURE]
[--norecursion] [--nfp] [-s] [-v] [-V | --version] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
configure
is a program used to prepare souce code to be built. It does this by
generating Makefiles and .gdbinit files, creating symlinks, recursing
in subdirectories, and some other miscellaneous file editing.
OPTIONS
configure
accepts the following options:
- --target=TARGET
-
Requests that the sources be configured to target the
TARGET
machine. If no target is specified explicitly, the target is assumed
to be the same as the host.
- --srcdir=DIR
-
tells configure to find the source in
DIR.
Object code is always built in the current directory,
`.'.
- --rm
-
asks configure to remove a configuration rather than create one.
- --site=SITE
-
asks configure to use any site-specific Makefile fragments for
SITE
when building Makefiles.
- --prefix=DIR
-
sets the location in which to install files to
DIR.
The default is "/usr/local".
- --exec_prefix=DIR
-
sets the root directory for host-dependent files to
DIR.
The default location is the value of
prefix.
- --program_prefix=DIR
-
configures the source to install programs which have the same names as
common Unix programs, such as "make", in
DIR.
Also applies to programs which might be used for cross-compilation.
- --tmpdir=DIR
-
sets the directory in which configure creates temporary files to
DIR.
- --with-PACKAGE[=YES/NO]
-
sets a flag for the build to recognize that
PACKAGE
is explicitly present or not present. If
=YES/NO
is nonexistent, the default is
YES.
--without-PACKAGE
is equivalent to
--with-PACKAGE=no.
- --enable-FEATURE[=YES/NO]
-
sets a flag for the build to recognize that
FEATURE
should be included or not included. If
=YES/NO
is nonexistent, the default is
YES.
--disable-FEATURE
is equivalent to
--enable-FEATURE=no.
- --norecursion
-
asks that only the current directory be configured. Normally
configure
recurs on subdirectories.
- -nfp
-
Notifies
configure
that all of the specified hosts have
no floating point
units.
- -s
-
used internally by configure to supress status messages on
subdirectory recursions. Override with
-v
- -v
-
verbose output. Asks that configure print status lines for each
directory configured. Normally, only the status lines for the current
directory are printed.
- --version
-
-V
prints
configure
version number.
- -help
-
displays a brief usage summary.
