215
+ − 2
+ − 3 Set compilation and installation parameters for XEmacs, and report.
+ − 4
+ − 5 Note that for most of the following options, you can explicitly enable
380
+ − 6 them using `--OPTION=yes' and explicitly disable them using `--OPTION=no'.
215
+ − 7 This is especially useful for auto-detected options.
276
+ − 8 The option `--without-FEATURE' is a synonym for `--with-FEATURE=no'.
215
+ − 9
272
+ − 10 Options marked with a (*) are auto-detected.
215
+ − 11
442
+ − 12 Many features require external packages to be installed first.
+ − 13 Get them from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux.
+ − 14
215
+ − 15 Use colons (or quoted spaces) to separate directory names in option
+ − 16 values which are PATHs (i.e. lists of directories).
+ − 17
442

+ − 19 for diagnosing problems.
+ − 20
+ − 21
215
+ − 22 General options:
+ − 23
388
+ − 24 --help Issue this usage message.

+ − 51 Works best when using GNU Make.
215
+ − 52
+ − 53
+ − 54 Installation options:
+ − 55
388
+ − 56 --prefix=DIR Install files below DIR. Defaults to `/usr/local'.

414
+ − 72 keep the WM_COMMAND property.
434
+ − 73 --with-athena=TYPE Use TYPE Athena widgets
+ − 74 (xaw, 3d, next, 95, or xpm)
388
+ − 75 --with-menubars=TYPE Use TYPE menubars (lucid, motif, or no). The Lucid
+ − 76 widgets emulate Motif (mostly) but are faster.
+ − 77 *WARNING* The Motif menubar is currently broken.
+ − 78 --with-scrollbars=TYPE Use TYPE scrollbars
434
+ − 79 (lucid, motif, athena, or no).
642
+ − 80 --with-dialogs=TYPE Use TYPE dialog boxes (lucid, motif, athena, or no).
388
+ − 81 Lucid menubars and scrollbars are the default.
+ − 82 Motif dialog boxes will be used if Motif can be found.
642
+ − 83 --with-widgets=TYPE Use TYPE widgets (lucid, motif, athena, or no).
420
+ − 84 Motif widgets will be used if Motif can be found.
+ − 85 Other widget types are currently unsupported.
442
+ − 86 --with-dragndrop Compile in the generic drag and drop API. This is
388
+ − 87 automatically added if one of the drag and drop
642
+ − 88 protocols is found (currently CDE, OffiX, MSWindows,
+ − 89 and GTK).
388
+ − 90 *WARNING* The Drag'n'drop support is under development
+ − 91 and is considered experimental.
442
+ − 92 --with-cde Compile in support for CDE drag and drop.
+ − 93 --with-offix Compile in support for OffiX drag and drop.
388
+ − 94 *WARNING* If you compile in OffiX, you may not be
+ − 95 able to use multiple X displays success-
+ − 96 fully. If the two servers are from
+ − 97 different vendors, the results may be
+ − 98 unpredictable.
442
+ − 99 --with-xmu=no (*) For those unfortunates whose vendors don't ship Xmu.
388
+ − 100 --external-widget Compile with external widget support.
442
+ − 101
+ − 102
+ − 103 TTY (character terminal) options:
+ − 104
+ − 105 --with-tty=no Don't support ttys.
+ − 106 --with-ncurses (*) Use the ncurses library for tty support.
+ − 107 --with-gpm (*) Compile in GPM mouse support for ttys.
+ − 108
+ − 109
+ − 110 Image options:
+ − 111
+ − 112 --with-xpm (*) Compile with support for XPM images. PRACTICALLY
+ − 113 REQUIRED. Although this library is nonstandard and
+ − 114 a real hassle to build, many basic things (e.g.
+ − 115 toolbars) depend on it, and you will run into
+ − 116 many problems without it.
+ − 117 --with-png (*) Compile with support for PNG images. Recommended
+ − 118 because the images on the About page are not viewable
+ − 119 without it.
+ − 120 --with-jpeg (*) Compile with support for JPEG images. Useful if
+ − 121 you are using a mail, news reader, or web browser
+ − 122 in XEmacs, so that JPEG images can be displayed.
+ − 123 --with-tiff (*) Compile with support for TIFF images. Possibly
+ − 124 useful, for the same reason as JPEG images.
+ − 125 --with-xface (*) Compile with support for X-Face mail headers.
+ − 126 Requires the compface package. Of doubtful
+ − 127 usefulness.
+ − 128 --with-gif=no Compile without the (builtin) support for GIF images.
215
+ − 129
+ − 130
442
+ − 131 Sound options:
+ − 132
+ − 133 --with-sound=TYPE,[TYPE],... Compile with native sound support.
+ − 134 Valid types are `native', `nas' and `esd'.
+ − 135 Prefix a type with 'no' to disable.
+ − 136 The first option can be `none' or `all'.
+ − 137 `none' is a synonym for `nonative,nonas,noesd'.
+ − 138 `all' is a synonym for native,nas,esd or `all'.
+ − 139 The default is to autodetect all sound support.
+ − 140 --native-sound-lib=LIB Native sound support library. Needed on Suns
+ − 141 with --with-sound=both because both sound libraries
+ − 142 are called libaudio.
+ − 143
+ − 144
+ − 145 Database options:
406
+ − 146
442
+ − 147 --with-database=TYPE (*) Compile with database support. Valid types are
+ − 148 `no' or a comma-separated list of one or more
+ − 149 of `berkdb' and either `dbm' or `gnudbm'.
+ − 150 --with-ldap (*) Compile with support for the LDAP protocol.
+ − 151 --with-postgresql (*) Compile with support for the PostgreSQL RDBMS.
+ − 152
+ − 153
+ − 154 Mail options:
+ − 155
+ − 156 --mail-locking=TYPE (*) Specify the locking to be used by movemail to prevent
+ − 157 concurrent updates of mail spool files. Valid types
642
+ − 158 are `lockf', `flock', `dot', `locking' or `mmdf'.
442
+ − 159 --with-pop Support POP for mail retrieval.
+ − 160 --with-kerberos Support Kerberos-authenticated POP.
+ − 161 --with-hesiod Support Hesiod to get the POP server host.
406
+ − 162
+ − 163
+ − 164 Additional features:
+ − 165
+ − 166 --with-tooltalk (*) Support the ToolTalk IPC protocol.
+ − 167 --with-workshop Support the Sun WorkShop (formerly Sparcworks)
+ − 168 development environment.
+ − 169 --with-socks Compile with support for SOCKS (an Internet proxy).
+ − 170 --with-dnet (*) Compile with support for DECnet.
442
+ − 171 --with-modules Compile in experimental support for dynamically
+ − 172 loaded libraries (Dynamic Shared Objects).
610
+ − 173 --with-netinstall Compile in support for installation over the internet.
388
+ − 174 --with-site-lisp=yes Allow for a site-lisp directory in the XEmacs hierarchy
+ − 175 searched before the installation packages.
+ − 176 --with-site-modules=no Disable site-modules directory in the XEmacs hierarchy,
+ − 177 which is searched before the installation modules.
215
+ − 178 --package-path=PATH Directories to search for packages to dump with xemacs.
388
+ − 179 PATH splits into three parts separated by double
+ − 180 colons (::), an early, a late, and a last part,
274
+ − 181 corresponding to their position in the various
380
+ − 182 system paths: The early part is always first,
+ − 183 the late part somewhere in the middle, and the
274
+ − 184 last part at the very back.
+ − 185 Only the late part gets seen at dump time.
380
+ − 186 If PATH has only one component, that component
274
+ − 187 is late.
+ − 188 If PATH has two components, the first is
+ − 189 early, the second is late.
388
+ − 190 --infodir=DIR Directory to install XEmacs Info manuals and dir in.
+ − 191 --infopath=PATH Directories to search for Info documents, info dir
+ − 192 and localdir files in case run-time searching
269
+ − 193 for them fails.
388
+ − 194 --moduledir=DIR Directory to install dynamic modules in.
442
+ − 195 --pdump New, experimental, non-working, don't-sue-me-if-
+ − 196 your-house-collapses-and-your-wife-leaves-you,
+ − 197 portable dumper.
464
+ − 198 --with-file-coding Allows transparent use of "foreign" line break
+ − 199 conventions in text files (such as LF-delimited text
+ − 200 imported from a Unix system to a Windows environment),
+ − 201 optionally including autodetection. Defaults to ON
+ − 202 on Windows, OFF on Unix.
215
+ − 203
+ − 204 Internationalization options:
+ − 205
388
+ − 206 --with-mule Compile with Mule (MUlti-Lingual Emacs) support,
+ − 207 needed to support non-Latin-1 (including Asian)
+ − 208 languages.
+ − 209 --with-xim=xlib Compile with support for X input methods,
+ − 210 --with-xim=motif (*) Used in conjunction with Mule support.
+ − 211 Use either raw Xlib to provide XIM support, or
+ − 212 the Motif XmIm* routines (when available).
+ − 213 NOTE: On some systems bugs in X11's XIM support
+ − 214 will cause XEmacs to crash, so by default,
+ − 215 no XIM support is compiled in, unless running
+ − 216 on Solaris and the XmIm* routines are detected.
+ − 217 --with-canna (*) Compile with support for Canna (a Japanese input method
+ − 218 used in conjunction with Mule support).
+ − 219 --with-wnn (*) Compile with support for WNN (a multi-language input
+ − 220 method used in conjunction with Mule support).
442
+ − 221 --with-wnn6 (*) Compile with support for the commercial package WNN6.
388
+ − 222 --with-i18n3 Compile with I18N level 3 (support for message
+ − 223 translation). This doesn't currently work.
+ − 224 --with-xfs Compile with XFontSet support for bilingual menubar.
+ − 225 Can't use this option with --with-xim=motif or xlib.
+ − 226 And should have --with-menubars=lucid.
215
+ − 227
+ − 228
+ − 229 Debugging options:
+ − 230
388
+ − 231 --debug Compile with support for debugging XEmacs.
+ − 232 (Causes code-size increase and little loss of speed.)
221
+ − 233 --error-checking=TYPE[,TYPE]...
388
+ − 234 Compile with internal error-checking added.
+ − 235 Causes noticeable loss of speed. Valid types
+ − 236 are extents, bufpos, malloc, gc, typecheck.
+ − 237 --error-checking=none Disable all internal error-checking (the default).
+ − 238 --error-checking=all Enable all internal error-checking.
+ − 239 --memory-usage-stats Compile with additional code to allow you to
+ − 240 determine what XEmacs's memory is being used
+ − 241 for. Causes a small code increase but no loss
+ − 242 of speed. Normally enabled when --debug is given.
+ − 243 --no-doc-file Don't rebuild the DOC file unless it's explicitly
+ − 244 deleted. Only use during development. (It speeds
+ − 245 up the compile-run-test cycle.)
+ − 246 --use-union-type Enable or disable use of a union, instead of an
+ − 247 int, for the fundamental Lisp_Object type; this
+ − 248 provides stricter type-checking. Only works with
+ − 249 some systems and compilers.
392
+ − 250 --with-quantify Add support for performance debugging using Quantify.
+ − 251 --with-purify Add support for memory debugging using Purify.
215
+ − 252
+ − 253
+ − 254 Other options:
+ − 255
388
+ − 256 --rel-alloc Use the relocating allocator (default for this option
+ − 257 is system-dependent).
+ − 258 --with-dlmalloc Control usage of Doug Lea malloc on systems that have
+ − 259 it in the standard C library (default is to use it if
+ − 260 it is available).
392
+ − 261 --with-system-malloc Force use of the system malloc, rather than GNU malloc.
+ − 262 --with-debug-malloc Use the debugging malloc package.
388
+ − 263 --with-clash-detection Use lock files to detect multiple edits of the same
442
+ − 264 file. The default is to do clash detection.
215
+ − 265
269
+ − 266 You may also specify any of the `path' variables found in Makefile.in,
420
+ − 267 including --bindir, --libdir, --docdir, --lispdir, --sitelispdir,
+ − 268 --datadir, --infodir, --mandir and so on. Note that we recommend
+ − 269 against explicitly setting any of these variables. See the INSTALL
+ − 270 file for a complete list plus the reasons we advise not changing them.
215
+ − 271
+ − 272 If successful, configure leaves its status in config.status. If
+ − 273 unsuccessful after disturbing the status quo, it removes config.status.
+ − 274
272
+ − 275 The configure script also recognizes some environment variables, each
442
+ − 276 of which is equivalent to a corresponding configure flag. Configure
+ − 277 flags take precedence over environment variables, if both are specified.
