Compilers and Options
|

=====================
|

|

Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that

the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
|

initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
|
||||
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like

||||
this:
|

CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure

Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
|

`configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for
|

details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
|
||||
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
|
||||
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
|
||||
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here

Specifying the System Type

==========================
|
||||
|
||||
There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
|
||||
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
|
||||
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
|
||||
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
|
||||
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system

|
||||
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
|
||||
but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
|
||||
Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
|
||||
architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
|
||||
message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
|
||||
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
||||
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
|
||||
|
||||
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
||||
|

where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
||||
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't

If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should

|
||||
system on which you are compiling the package.
|

produce code for.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
|
||||
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
|
||||
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
|
||||
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.

|
||||
Sharing Defaults
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
|
||||
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
|
||||
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
||||
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
|
||||
can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
|
||||
values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
||||
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
||||
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
||||
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
||||
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
||||
|
||||
Operation Controls
|
||||
Defining Variables
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
|
||||
operates.
|
||||
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
|
||||
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
|
||||
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
|
||||
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
|
||||
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
`--cache-file=FILE'
|
||||
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
|
||||
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
|
||||
debugging `configure'.
|
||||
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
|
||||
|
||||
will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
|
||||
overridden in the site shell script).
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' Invocation
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.

Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.

Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'

`--cache-file=FILE'
|
||||

||||
