.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Configure
|
||
|
|
is a program used to prepare souce code to be built. It does this by
|
||
|
|
generating Makefiles and .gdbinit files, creating symlinks, digging
|
||
|
|
directories, and some other miscellaneous file editting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.I Configure
|
||
|
|
accepts the following options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-datadir=dir
|
||
|
|
sets the root directory for host independent files to
|
||
|
|
.I dir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-gas
|
||
|
|
tells configure that the GNU assembler is available on this machine
|
||
|
|
even if it is not ordinarily.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-help
|
||
|
|
displays a brief summary of the calling convention.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-host=h
|
||
|
|
asks configure to prepare the source to be compiled in an environment
|
||
|
|
called
|
||
|
|
.I h.
|
||
|
|
This option is very confusing and is best ignored. FIXME: I don't
|
||
|
|
think it should even be documented.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-namesubdir=name
|
||
|
|
When using -subdirs, this option sets the name of the subdir to be
|
||
|
|
created. This isn't very useful when configuring for multiple hosts.
|
||
|
|
NOTE: support for this option is temporarily suspended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-nfp
|
||
|
|
Notifies configure that all of the specified hosts have
|
||
|
|
.I no floating point
|
||
|
|
units.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-norecursion
|
||
|
|
asks that only the current directory be configured. Normally
|
||
|
|
configure recurs on subdirectories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-objdir=dir
|
||
|
|
asks that the build directories be created in dir. NOTE: support for
|
||
|
|
this option is at least temporarily suspended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-prefix=dir
|
||
|
|
sets the default location in which to install files to dir. The
|
||
|
|
default is "/usr/local".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-recurring
|
||
|
|
used internally by configure to supress status messages on
|
||
|
|
subdirectory recursions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-rm
|
||
|
|
asks configure to remove a configuration rather than creating one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-site=s
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
building Makefiles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-srcdir=dir
|
||
|
|
tells configure to find the source in srcdir.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-subdirs
|
||
|
|
asks configure to create subdirectories of the build directory named
|
||
|
|
"H-host" for each host. If the configuration is not native, (host is
|
||
|
|
not target), the the directory will be named "X-host-target" instead.
|
||
|
|
NOTE: support for this option is temporarily suspended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-target=t
|
||
|
|
Requests that the sources be configured to target the t machine. If
|
||
|
|
no targets are specified explicitly, the target is assumed to be the
|
||
|
|
same as the host. If multiple targets are specified, configurations
|
||
|
|
for each are created and -subdirs is assumed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: support for multiple targets is at least temporarily suspended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|

|
|
.I \-tmpdir=dir
|
||
|
|
Sets the directory in which configure creates temporary files to
|
||

|
.I \-verbose
|
||
|
|
.I \-v

|
Normally, only the status lines for the current directory are printed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I \-x
|
||
|
|
Tells configure that MIT style X11 header files and libraries are
|
||
|
|
available on this machine, even if they are not normally available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
