For a complete list, type: + + ./configure --help + +A few of the more important ones: + +* --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX + [ Defaults to /usr/local ] + +* --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX + [ Defaults to the value given to --prefix ] + +Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting +environment variables before running configure. A few of the more +important ones: + + CC : The C compiler to use + CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D + CFLAGS : C compiler flags + +The most important use of this is to set the +optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no +debugging information at all, run configure as: + + CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh) + +or, + + setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants + + +Installation directories +======================== + +The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix +and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more +detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the +use of these flags is not tested. + +One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent +include file glibconfig.h is installed in: + + $exec_pref/lib/glib/include/ + +if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date +and should be deleted. + +A shell script glib-config is created during the configure +process, and installed in the bin/ directory +($exec_prefix/bin). This is used to determine the location of glib +when building applications. If you move glib after installation, +it will be necessary to edit this file. + |
