Usage: configure [--OPTION[=VALUE] ...] [CONFIGURATION] Set compilation and installation parameters for XEmacs, and report. Note that for most of the following options, you can explicitly enable them using `--OPTION=yes' and explicitly disable them using `--OPTION=no'. This is especially useful for auto-detected options. The option `--without-FEATURE' is a synonym for `--with-FEATURE=no'. Options marked with a (*) are auto-detected. Many features require external packages to be installed first. Get them from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux. Use colons (or quoted spaces) to separate directory names in option values which are PATHs (i.e. lists of directories). The results of configure tests are saved in config.log, which is useful for diagnosing problems. General options: ---------------- --help Issue this usage message. --verbose Accepted but ignored. --extra-verbose Display more information, useful for debugging. Compilation options: -------------------- --compiler=PROG C compiler to use --xemacs-compiler=PROG compiler to use to compile just the xemacs executable. If you want to compile XEmacs as C++, use e.g. `--xemacs-compiler=g++'. This turns on a lot of additional error-checking. --with-gcc (*) Use GCC to compile XEmacs. --cflags=FLAGS Compiler flags (such as -O); setting this overrides all default compiler flags except those that control warnings. --cflags-warning=FLAGS Override compiler flags used to control warnings. Normally, don't set this, as XEmacs already turns on the maximum safe warning level. --cpp=PROG C preprocessor to use (e.g. /usr/ccs/lib/cpp or cc -E) --cppflags=FLAGS C preprocessor flags (e.g. -I/foo or -Dfoo=bar) --libs=LIBS Additional libraries (e.g. -lfoo) --ldflags=FLAGS Additional linker flags (e.g. -L/foo) --site-includes=PATH List of directories to search first for header files --site-libraries=PATH List of directories to search first for libraries --site-prefixes=PATH List of directories to search for include/ and lib/ subdirectories, just after 'site-includes' and 'site-libraries' --site-runtime-libraries=PATH List of ALL directories to search for dynamically linked libraries at run time --dynamic=yes Link dynamically if supported by system. --dynamic=no Force static linking on systems where dynamic linking is the default. --srcdir=DIR Look for the XEmacs source files in DIR. Works best when using GNU Make. Allows you to build XEmacs in various different ways using the same source tree. Installation options: --------------------- --prefix=DIR Install files below DIR. Defaults to `/usr/local'. --with-prefix=no Don't compile the value of --prefix into the executable. --with-netinstall Compile in support for installation over the internet. Only functional on the MS Windows platforms. --bindir=DIR --datadir=DIR --statedir=DIR --libdir=DIR --infodir=DIR --mandir=DIR --lispdir=DIR --sitelispdir=DIR --etcdir=DIR --lockdir=DIR --archlibdir=DIR --docdir=DIR --moduledir=DIR You may also control individually where various parts of XEmacs are installed. Note that we recommend against explicitly setting any of these variables. See the INSTALL file for a complete list plus the reasons we advise not changing them. Run-time path-searching options: -------------------------------- --with-site-lisp=yes Allow for a site-lisp directory in the XEmacs hierarchy searched before the installation packages. --with-site-modules=no Disable site-modules directory in the XEmacs hierarchy, which is searched before the installation modules. --package-path=PATH Directories to search for packages to dump with xemacs. PATH splits into three parts separated by double colons (::), an early, a late, and a last part, corresponding to their position in the various system paths: The early part is always first, the late part somewhere in the middle, and the last part at the very back. Only the late part gets seen at dump time. If PATH has only one component, that component is late. If PATH has two components, the first is early, the second is late. --infopath=PATH Directories to search for Info documents, info dir and localdir files in case run-time searching for them fails. Window-system options: ---------------------- --with-gtk Support GTK on the X Window System. (EXPERIMENTAL) --with-gnome Support GNOME on the X Window System. (EXPERIMENTAL) --with-x11 (*) Support the X Window System. --x-includes=DIR Search for X header files in DIR. --x-libraries=DIR Search for X libraries in DIR. --with-msw (*) Support MS Windows as a window system (only under Cygwin and MinGW). `--with-msw=no' may be needed on *nix systems with Wine installed. --with-toolbars=no Don't compile with any toolbar support. --with-wmcommand=no Compile without realized leader window which will keep the WM_COMMAND property. --with-athena=TYPE Use TYPE Athena widgets (xaw, 3d, next, 95, or xpm). --with-menubars=TYPE Use TYPE menubars (lucid, motif, or no). The Lucid widgets emulate Motif (mostly) but are faster. *WARNING* The Motif menubar is currently broken. Lucid menubars are the default. --with-scrollbars=TYPE Use TYPE scrollbars (lucid, motif, athena, or no). Lucid scrollbars are the default. --with-dialogs=TYPE Use TYPE dialog boxes (lucid, motif, athena, or no). There are no true Lucid dialogs; Motif dialogs will be used if Motif can be found, else Athena is used. --with-widgets=TYPE Use TYPE native widgets (lucid, motif, athena, or no). Other widget types are currently unsupported. There are no true Lucid widgets; Motif widgets will be used if Motif can be found, else Athena is used. --with-dragndrop Compile in the generic drag and drop API. This is automatically added if one of the drag and drop protocols is found (currently CDE, OffiX, MSWindows, and GTK). *WARNING* The Drag'n'drop support is under development and is considered experimental. --with-cde Compile in support for CDE drag and drop. --with-offix Compile in support for OffiX drag and drop. *WARNING* If you compile in OffiX, you may not be able to use multiple X displays success- fully. If the two servers are from different vendors, the results may be unpredictable. --with-xmu=no (*) For those unfortunates whose vendors don't ship Xmu. --external-widget Compile with external widget support. TTY (character terminal) options: --------------------------------- --with-tty=no Don't support ttys. --with-ncurses (*) Use the ncurses library for tty support. --with-gpm (*) Compile in GPM mouse support for ttys. Image options: -------------- --with-xpm (*) Compile with support for XPM images. PRACTICALLY REQUIRED. Although this library is nonstandard and a real hassle to build, many basic things (e.g. toolbars) depend on it, and you will run into many problems without it. --with-png (*) Compile with support for PNG images. Recommended because the images on the About page are not viewable without it. --with-jpeg (*) Compile with support for JPEG images. Useful if you are using a mail, news reader, or web browser in XEmacs, so that JPEG images can be displayed. --with-tiff (*) Compile with support for TIFF images. Possibly useful, for the same reason as JPEG images. --with-xface (*) Compile with support for X-Face mail headers. Requires the compface package. Of doubtful usefulness. --with-gif=no Compile without the (builtin) support for GIF images. Sound options: -------------- --with-sound=TYPE[,TYPE[,...]] (*) Compile with sound support. Valid types are `native', `nas' and `esd'. Prefix a type with 'no' to disable. The first type can be `none' or `all'. `none' means `nonative,nonas,noesd'. `all' means `native,nas,esd'. Later options override earlier ones for the same TYPE. The default is to autodetect all sound support except for ESD which defaults to off. --native-sound-lib=LIB Native sound support library. Needed on Suns with `--with-sound=native,nas' because both sound libraries are called libaudio. Internationalization options: ----------------------------- --with-mule Compile with Mule (MUlti-Lingual Emacs) support, needed to support non-Latin-1 (including Asian) languages. --with-xim=xlib Compile with support for X input methods, --with-xim=motif (*) Used in conjunction with Mule support. Use either raw Xlib to provide XIM support, or the Motif XmIm* routines (when available). NOTE: On some systems bugs in X11's XIM support will cause XEmacs to crash, so by default, no XIM support is compiled in, unless running on Solaris and the XmIm* routines are detected. --with-canna (*) Compile with support for Canna (a Japanese input method used in conjunction with Mule support). --with-wnn (*) Compile with support for Wnn (a multi-language input method used in conjunction with Mule support). --with-wnn6 (*) Compile with support for the commercial package Wnn6. --with-i18n3 Compile with I18N level 3 (support for message translation). This doesn't currently work. --with-xfs Compile with XFontSet support for internationalized menubar. Incompatible with `--with-xim=motif'. `--with-menubars=lucid' (the default) is desirable. File-related options: --------------------- --with-default-eol-detection Turns on by default auto-detection of end-of-line type when reading a file. Applies to those platforms where auto-detection is off by default (non-Mule Unix). Has no effect otherwise. --with-clash-detection=no Disable use of lock files to detect multiple edits of the same file. Database options: ----------------- --with-database=TYPE (*) Compile with database support. Valid types are `no' or a comma-separated list of one or more of `berkdb' and either `dbm' or `gnudbm'. --with-ldap (*) Compile with support for the LDAP protocol. --with-postgresql (*) Compile with support for the PostgreSQL RDBMS. Mail options: ------------- --mail-locking=TYPE (*) Specify the locking to be used by movemail to prevent concurrent updates of mail spool files. Valid types are `lockf', `flock', `dot', `locking' or `mmdf'. --with-pop Support POP for mail retrieval. --with-kerberos Support Kerberos-authenticated POP. --with-hesiod Support Hesiod to get the POP server host. Networking options: ------------------- --with-tooltalk (*) Support the ToolTalk IPC protocol. --with-socks Compile with support for SOCKS (an Internet proxy). --with-dnet (*) Compile with support for DECnet. --with-ipv6-cname Try IPv6 information first when canonicalizing host names. This option has no effect unless system supports getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3). Memory allocation options: -------------------------- --rel-alloc Use the relocating allocator (default for this option is system-dependent). --with-dlmalloc Control usage of Doug Lea malloc on systems that have it in the standard C library (default is to use it if it is available). --with-system-malloc Force use of the system malloc, rather than GNU malloc. --with-debug-malloc Use the debugging malloc package. Emacs Lisp options: ------------------- --use-number-lib=TYPE Compile in support for bignums, ratios, or bigfloats using library support. TYPE must be one of "gmp" (for GNU MP), "mp" (for BSD MP), or "no" (disabled). Debugging options: ------------------ --debug Compile with support for debugging XEmacs. (Causes code-size increase and little loss of speed.) --error-checking=TYPE[,TYPE]... Compile with internal error-checking added. Causes noticeable loss of speed. Valid types are extents, bufpos, malloc, gc, typecheck. --error-checking=none Disable all internal error-checking (the default). --error-checking=all Enable all internal error-checking. --memory-usage-stats Compile with additional code to allow you to determine what XEmacs's memory is being used for. Causes a small code increase but no loss of speed. Normally enabled when --debug is given. --quick-build Speed up the build cycle by leaving out steps where XEmacs will still work (more or less) without them. Potentially dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. This (1) doesn't garbage-collect after loading each file during dumping, (2) doesn't automatically rebuild the DOC file (remove it by hand to get it rebuilt), (3) Removes config.h, lisp.h and associated files from the dependency lists, so changes to these files don't automatically cause all .c files to be rebuilt. --use-union-type Enable or disable use of a union, instead of an int, for the fundamental Lisp_Object type; this provides stricter type-checking. WARNING: This has a tendency to trigger compiler bugs, especially in combination with other features that increase the complexity of expressions, for example `--with-mule' and `--error-checking=all'. Crashes have been observed with union type in combination with the two options just mentioned under various versions of GCC as well as MSVC++ 6.0. Furthermore, many debuggers have problems (i.e. bugs) dealing with unions, and even for those that don't, debugging can be inconvenient because of no syntax for entering a union. We recommend `--use-union-type' *ONLY* for testing purposes, not for production builds. If you are using `-use-union-type' and get some weird crash, try redoing without union type. --with-quantify Add support for performance debugging using Quantify. --with-purify Add support for memory debugging using Purify. Developer options: ------------------ --with-workshop Support the Sun WorkShop (formerly Sparcworks) development environment. --pdump New, portable, relocatable dumper. Currently works quite well, somewhere in beta-to-late-beta, we might say. (Infamous for being the former "experimental, don't-sue-me-if-your-house-collapses- and-your-wife-leaves-you" portable dumper.) --use-kkcc Enable the use of new GC algorithms. (EXPERIMENTAL) --with-modules (*) Compile in experimental support for dynamically loaded libraries (Dynamic Shared Objects). If successful, configure leaves its status in config.status. If unsuccessful after disturbing the status quo, it removes config.status. The configure script also recognizes some environment variables, each of which is equivalent to a corresponding configure flag. Configure flags take precedence over environment variables, if both are specified. environment corresponding variable configure flag ----------- -------------- CC --compiler XEMACS_CC --xemacs-compiler CPP --cpp CFLAGS --cflags CPPFLAGS --cppflags LDFLAGS --ldflags LIBS --libs LD_RUN_PATH --site-runtime-libraries For more details on the install process, consult the INSTALL file.
