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'.

|
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
|
18 The results of configure tests are saved in config.log, which is useful
|
|
|
19 for diagnosing problems.

73 (xaw, 3d, next, 95, or xpm)
|
|
388
|
74 --with-menubars=TYPE Use TYPE menubars (lucid, motif, or no). The Lucid
|
|
|
75 widgets emulate Motif (mostly) but are faster.
|
|
|

|
|
|
77 --with-scrollbars=TYPE Use TYPE scrollbars
|
|
434
|
78 (lucid, motif, athena, or no).
|
|

|
|
388
|
86 automatically added if one of the drag and drop
|
|
|
87 protocols is found (currently CDE, OffiX, MSWindows).
|
|
|
88 *WARNING* The Drag'n'drop support is under development
|
|
|

|
|
442
|
90 --with-cde Compile in support for CDE drag and drop.
|
|
|
91 --with-offix Compile in support for OffiX drag and drop.
|
|
388
|
92 *WARNING* If you compile in OffiX, you may not be
|
|
|
93 able to use multiple X displays success-
|
|
|
94 fully. If the two servers are from
|
|
|
95 different vendors, the results may be
|
|
|
96 unpredictable.
|
|
442
|
97 --with-xmu=no (*) For those unfortunates whose vendors don't ship Xmu.
|
|
388
|
98 --external-widget Compile with external widget support.
|
|
442
|
99
|
|
|
100
|
|
|
101 TTY (character terminal) options:
|
|
|
102
|
|
|
103 --with-tty=no Don't support ttys.
|
|
|

|
|
|
106
|
|
|
107
|
|
|
108 Image options:
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 --with-xpm (*) Compile with support for XPM images. PRACTICALLY
|
|
|
111 REQUIRED. Although this library is nonstandard and
|
|
|
112 a real hassle to build, many basic things (e.g.
|
|
|
113 toolbars) depend on it, and you will run into
|
|
|
114 many problems without it.
|
|
|
115 --with-png (*) Compile with support for PNG images. Recommended
|
|
|
116 because the images on the About page are not viewable
|
|
|
117 without it.
|
|
|
118 --with-jpeg (*) Compile with support for JPEG images. Useful if
|
|
|
119 you are using a mail, news reader, or web browser
|
|
|
120 in XEmacs, so that JPEG images can be displayed.
|
|
|
121 --with-tiff (*) Compile with support for TIFF images. Possibly
|
|
|
122 useful, for the same reason as JPEG images.
|
|
|
123 --with-xface (*) Compile with support for X-Face mail headers.
|
|
|
124 Requires the compface package. Of doubtful
|
|
|
125 usefulness.
|
|
|
126 --with-gif=no Compile without the (builtin) support for GIF images.
|
|
215
|
127
|
|
|
128
|
|
442
|
129 Sound options:
|
|
|
130
|
|
|
131 --with-sound=TYPE,[TYPE],... Compile with native sound support.
|
|
|
132 Valid types are `native', `nas' and `esd'.
|
|
|
133 Prefix a type with 'no' to disable.
|
|
|
134 The first option can be `none' or `all'.
|
|
|
135 `none' is a synonym for `nonative,nonas,noesd'.
|
|
|
136 `all' is a synonym for native,nas,esd or `all'.
|
|
|
137 The default is to autodetect all sound support.
|
|
|
138 --native-sound-lib=LIB Native sound support library. Needed on Suns
|
|
|
139 with --with-sound=both because both sound libraries
|
|
|
140 are called libaudio.
|
|
|
141
|
|
|
142
|
|
|
143 Database options:
|
|
406
|
144
|
|
442
|
145 --with-database=TYPE (*) Compile with database support. Valid types are
|
|
|
146 `no' or a comma-separated list of one or more
|
|
|
147 of `berkdb' and either `dbm' or `gnudbm'.
|
|
|
148 --with-ldap (*) Compile with support for the LDAP protocol.
|
|
|
149 --with-postgresql (*) Compile with support for the PostgreSQL RDBMS.
|
|
|
150
|
|
|
151
|
|
|
152 Mail options:
|
|
|
153
|
|
|
154 --mail-locking=TYPE (*) Specify the locking to be used by movemail to prevent
|
|
|
155 concurrent updates of mail spool files. Valid types
|
|
|
156 are `lockf', `flock', and `dot'.
|
|
|
157 --with-pop Support POP for mail retrieval.
|
|
|
158 --with-kerberos Support Kerberos-authenticated POP.
|
|
|
159 --with-hesiod Support Hesiod to get the POP server host.
|
|
406
|
160
|
|
|
161
|
|
|
162 Additional features:
|
|
|
163
|
|
|
164 --with-tooltalk (*) Support the ToolTalk IPC protocol.
|
|
|
165 --with-workshop Support the Sun WorkShop (formerly Sparcworks)
|
|
|
166 development environment.
|
|

168 --with-dnet (*) Compile with support for DECnet.
|
|
442
|
169 --with-modules Compile in experimental support for dynamically
|
|
|
170 loaded libraries (Dynamic Shared Objects).
|
|
462
|
171 --with-netinstall Compile in support for installation over the internet.
|
|
388
|
172 --with-site-lisp=yes Allow for a site-lisp directory in the XEmacs hierarchy
|
|
|
173 searched before the installation packages.
|
|
|
174 --with-site-modules=no Disable site-modules directory in the XEmacs hierarchy,
|
|
|
175 which is searched before the installation modules.
|
|
215
|
176 --package-path=PATH Directories to search for packages to dump with xemacs.
|
|
388
|
177 PATH splits into three parts separated by double
|
|
|
178 colons (::), an early, a late, and a last part,
|
|
274
|
179 corresponding to their position in the various
|
|
380
|
180 system paths: The early part is always first,
|
|
|
181 the late part somewhere in the middle, and the
|
|
274
|
182 last part at the very back.
|
|
|
183 Only the late part gets seen at dump time.
|
|
380
|
184 If PATH has only one component, that component
|
|
274
|
185 is late.
|
|
|
186 If PATH has two components, the first is
|
|
|
187 early, the second is late.
|
|
388
|
188 --infodir=DIR Directory to install XEmacs Info manuals and dir in.
|
|
|
189 --infopath=PATH Directories to search for Info documents, info dir
|
|
|
190 and localdir files in case run-time searching
|
|
269
|
191 for them fails.
|
|
388
|
192 --moduledir=DIR Directory to install dynamic modules in.
|
|
442
|
193 --pdump New, experimental, non-working, don't-sue-me-if-
|
|
|
194 your-house-collapses-and-your-wife-leaves-you,
|
|
|
195 portable dumper.
|
|
464
|
196 --with-file-coding Allows transparent use of "foreign" line break
|
|
|
197 conventions in text files (such as LF-delimited text
|
|
|
198 imported from a Unix system to a Windows environment),
|
|
|
199 optionally including autodetection. Defaults to ON
|
|
|
200 on Windows, OFF on Unix.
|
|
215
|
201
|
|
|
202 Internationalization options:
|
|
|
203
|
|
388
|
204 --with-mule Compile with Mule (MUlti-Lingual Emacs) support,
|
|
|
205 needed to support non-Latin-1 (including Asian)
|
|
|
206 languages.
|
|
|
207 --with-xim=xlib Compile with support for X input methods,
|
|
|
208 --with-xim=motif (*) Used in conjunction with Mule support.
|
|
|
209 Use either raw Xlib to provide XIM support, or
|
|
|
210 the Motif XmIm* routines (when available).
|
|
|
211 NOTE: On some systems bugs in X11's XIM support
|
|
|
212 will cause XEmacs to crash, so by default,
|
|
|
213 no XIM support is compiled in, unless running
|
|
|
214 on Solaris and the XmIm* routines are detected.
|
|
|
215 --with-canna (*) Compile with support for Canna (a Japanese input method
|
|
|
216 used in conjunction with Mule support).
|
|
|
217 --with-wnn (*) Compile with support for WNN (a multi-language input
|
|
|
218 method used in conjunction with Mule support).
|
|
442
|
219 --with-wnn6 (*) Compile with support for the commercial package WNN6.
|
|
388
|
220 --with-i18n3 Compile with I18N level 3 (support for message
|
|
|
221 translation). This doesn't currently work.
|
|
|
222 --with-xfs Compile with XFontSet support for bilingual menubar.
|
|
|
223 Can't use this option with --with-xim=motif or xlib.
|
|
|
224 And should have --with-menubars=lucid.
|
|
215
|
225
|
|
|
226
|
|
|
227 Debugging options:
|
|
|
228
|
|
388
|
229 --debug Compile with support for debugging XEmacs.
|
|
|
230 (Causes code-size increase and little loss of speed.)
|
|
221
|
231 --error-checking=TYPE[,TYPE]...
|
|
388
|
232 Compile with internal error-checking added.
|
|
|
233 Causes noticeable loss of speed. Valid types
|
|
|
234 are extents, bufpos, malloc, gc, typecheck.
|
|
|
235 --error-checking=none Disable all internal error-checking (the default).
|
|
|
236 --error-checking=all Enable all internal error-checking.
|
|
|
237 --memory-usage-stats Compile with additional code to allow you to
|
|
|
238 determine what XEmacs's memory is being used
|
|
|
239 for. Causes a small code increase but no loss
|
|
|
240 of speed. Normally enabled when --debug is given.
|
|
|
241 --no-doc-file Don't rebuild the DOC file unless it's explicitly
|
|
|
242 deleted. Only use during development. (It speeds
|
|
|
243 up the compile-run-test cycle.)
|
|
|
244 --use-union-type Enable or disable use of a union, instead of an
|
|
|
245 int, for the fundamental Lisp_Object type; this
|
|
|
246 provides stricter type-checking. Only works with
|
|
|
247 some systems and compilers.
|
|
392
|
248 --with-quantify Add support for performance debugging using Quantify.
|
|
|
249 --with-purify Add support for memory debugging using Purify.
|
|
215
|
250
|
|
|
251
|
|
|
252 Other options:
|
|
|
253
|
|
388
|
254 --rel-alloc Use the relocating allocator (default for this option
|
|
|
255 is system-dependent).
|
|
|
256 --with-dlmalloc Control usage of Doug Lea malloc on systems that have
|
|
|
257 it in the standard C library (default is to use it if
|
|
|
258 it is available).
|
|
392
|
259 --with-system-malloc Force use of the system malloc, rather than GNU malloc.
|
|
|
260 --with-debug-malloc Use the debugging malloc package.
|
|
388
|
261 --with-clash-detection Use lock files to detect multiple edits of the same
|
|
442
|
262 file. The default is to do clash detection.
|
|
215
|
263
|
|
269
|
264 You may also specify any of the `path' variables found in Makefile.in,
|
|
420
|
265 including --bindir, --libdir, --docdir, --lispdir, --sitelispdir,
|
|
|
266 --datadir, --infodir, --mandir and so on. Note that we recommend
|
|
|
267 against explicitly setting any of these variables. See the INSTALL
|
|
|
268 file for a complete list plus the reasons we advise not changing them.
|
|
215
|
269
|
|
|
270 If successful, configure leaves its status in config.status. If
|
|
|
271 unsuccessful after disturbing the status quo, it removes config.status.
|
|
|
272
|
|
272
|
273 The configure script also recognizes some environment variables, each
|
|
442
|
274 of which is equivalent to a corresponding configure flag. Configure
|
|
|
275 flags take precedence over environment variables, if both are specified.
|
|
243
|
276
