Parameter record of Configure

Cross-compiling a software is tripped by a parameter of the configure, wasting time. Because the parameter configuration of install and configure is not carefully reviewed. Configure–help is still very useful.

' Configure ' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems. Usage:./configure [OPTION] ...

[Var=value] ...  To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, cflags ...), specify them as Var=value.

Below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets. Configuration:-H,--help display this Help and exit--help=short display options specific to This package--help=recursive display the short help of the included Packages-v,--version DISPL Ay version information and exit-q,--quiet,--silent do not print ' checking ... ' Messages--cache-file=file CA         Che test results in FILE [disabled]-C,--config-cache alias for '--cache-file=config.cache '-N,--no-create

Do don't create output files--srcdir=dir find the sources in dir [Configure Dir or ' ... '] Installation directories:--prefix=prefix Install architecture-independent files In PREFIX [/usr/local]--exec-prefix=eprefix install architecture-dependent files in Eprefix

[PREFIX]  By default, ' make install ' would install all of the files in '/usr/local/bin ', '/usr/local/lib ' etc.

You can specify a installation prefix than '/usr/local ' using '--prefix ' for instance '--prefix= $HOME '.
