configure Invocation

configure recognizes the following options to control how it operates.

@option{--help}

@option{-h}

Print a summary of the options to configure, and exit.

@option{--version}

@option{-V}

Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the configure script, and exit.

@option{--cache-file=file}

Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in file, traditionally `config.cache'. file defaults to `/dev/null' to disable caching.

@option{--config-cache}

@option{-C}

Alias for @option{--cache-file=config.cache}.

@option{--quiet}

@option{--silent}

@option{-q}

Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error messages will still be shown).

@option{--srcdir=dir}

Look for the package's source code in directory dir. Usually configure can determine that directory automatically.

configure also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run `configure --help' for more details.
