22 is a program used to prepare souce code to be built. It does this by
23 generating Makefiles and .gdbinit files, creating symlinks, digging
24 directories, and some other miscellaneous file editting.
28 accepts the following options:
32 sets the root directory for host dependent files to
34 The default location is the same as
39 tells configure that the GNU assembler is available on this machine
40 even if it is not ordinarily.
44 displays a brief summary of the calling convention.
48 asks configure to prepare the source to be compiled in an environment
51 This option is very confusing and is best ignored. FIXME: I don't
52 think it should even be documented.
56 Notifies configure that all of the specified hosts have
62 asks that only the current directory be configured. Normally
63 configure recurs on subdirectories.
67 sets the default location in which to install files to dir. The
68 default is "/usr/local".
72 used internally by configure to supress status messages on
73 subdirectory recursions.
77 asks configure to remove a configuration rather than creating one.
81 asks configure to use any site specific Makefile fragments for s when
86 tells configure to find the source in srcdir.
90 Requests that the sources be configured to target the t machine. If
91 no targets are specified explicitly, the target is assumed to be the
96 Sets the directory in which configure creates temporary files to
102 Asks that configure print status lines for each directory configured.
103 Normally, only the status lines for the current directory are printed.
107 Tells configure that MIT style X11 header files and libraries are
108 available on this machine, even if they are not normally available.
