configure options
Here is a summary of the configure options and arguments that
are most often useful for building GDB. configure also has
several other options not listed here. See Info file `configure.info', node `What Configure Does', for a full explanation of configure.
configure [--help]
[--prefix=dir]
[--srcdir=dirname]
[--norecursion] [--rm]
[--target=target] host
You may introduce options with a single `-' rather than `--' if you prefer; but you may abbreviate option names if you use `--'.
--help
configure.
-prefix=dir
--srcdir=dirname
make, or another
make that implements the VPATH feature.configure writes configuration specific files in
the current directory, but arranges for them to use the source in the
directory dirname. configure creates directories under
the working directory in parallel to the source directories below
dirname.
--norecursion
configure is executed; do not
propagate configuration to subdirectories.
--rm
--target=target
host ...
configure accepts other options, for compatibility with
configuring other GNU tools recursively; but these are the only
options that affect GDB or its supporting libraries.
