115 own directory. To do this, you can use GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the
116 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
118 code in the directory that 'configure' is in and in '..'. This is known
121 With a non-GNU 'make', it is safer to compile the package for one
122 architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have
127 executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or
128 "universal" binaries--by specifying multiple '-arch' options to the
129 compiler but only a single '-arch' option to the preprocessor. Like
132 ./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
133 CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
134 CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E"
145 can specify an installation prefix other than '/usr/local' by giving
146 'configure' the option '--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an
150 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
151 pass the option '--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to 'configure', the package uses
152 PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
153 Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
155 In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
156 options like '--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
157 kinds of files. Run 'configure --help' for a list of the directories
159 for these options is expressed in terms of '${prefix}', so that
160 specifying just '--prefix' will affect all of the other directory
170 affected directory. For example, 'make install
171 prefix=/alternate/directory' will choose an alternate location for all
172 directory configuration variables that were expressed in terms of
173 '${prefix}'. Any directories that were specified during 'configure',
174 but not in terms of '${prefix}', must each be overridden at install time
176 variable overrides for each directory variable is required by the GNU
183 example, 'make install DESTDIR=/alternate/directory' will prepend
184 '/alternate/directory' before all installation names. The approach of
188 when some directory options were not specified in terms of '${prefix}'

196 option '--program-prefix=PREFIX' or '--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
198 Some packages pay attention to '--enable-FEATURE' options to
200 They may also pay attention to '--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
201 is something like 'gnu-as' or 'x' (for the X Window System). The
202 'README' should mention any '--enable-' and '--with-' options that the
207 you can use the 'configure' options '--x-includes=DIR' and
208 '--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
