Configure Information
configure - configures HP Linux Imaging and Printing to adapt to many kinds of systems.
Note
You can also run ./configure --help from the hplip source directory for this information.
Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.
Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit --help=short display options specific to this package --help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages -V, --version display version information and exit -q, --quiet, --silent do not print checking... messages --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled] -C, --config-cache alias for --cache-file=config.cache -n, --no-create do not create output files --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or ..]
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [PREFIX]
By default, make install will install all the files in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than /usr/local using --prefix, for instance --prefix=$HOME.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin] --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin] --libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec] --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc] --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com] --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var] --libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib] --includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include] --oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include] --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share] --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR] --infodir=DIR info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info] --localedir=DIR locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale] --mandir=DIR man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man] --docdir=DIR documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/hplip] --htmldir=DIR html documentation [DOCDIR] --dvidir=DIR dvi documentation [DOCDIR] --pdfdir=DIR pdf documentation [DOCDIR] --psdir=DIR ps documentation [DOCDIR]
Program names:
--program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names --program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names --program-transform-name=PROGRAM run sed PROGRAM on installed program names
System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed] --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
Optional Features:
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no) --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes] --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=no] --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes] --enable-fast-install[=PKGS] optimize for fast installation [default=yes] --disable-dependency-tracking speeds up one-time build --enable-dependency-tracking do not reject slow dependency extractors --disable-libtool-lock avoid locking (might break parallel builds) --enable-doc-build enable documentation build (default=yes) --enable-hpijs-only-build enable hpijs only build (default=no) --enable-network-build enable network build (default=yes) --enable-pp-build enable parallel port build (default=yes) --enable-scan-build enable scanner build (default=yes) --enable-gui-build enable gui build (default=yes) --enable-fax-build enable fax build (default=yes) --enable-cups11-build enable cups 1.1.x build (default=no) --enable-shadow-build enable shadow build (default=no) --enable-foomatic-ppd-install enable foomatic ppd install, uses hpppddir default=no --enable-foomatic-xml-install enable foomatic xml install, uses foomaticdir default=yes
Optional Packages:
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no) --with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no] --with-pic try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use both] --with-tags[=TAGS] include additional configurations [automatic] --with-cupsbackenddir=DIR set cups backend install directory default=/usr/lib/cups/backend --with-icondir=DIR set icon install directory default=/usr/share/applications --with-hpppddir=DIR set hp ppd install directory default=datadir/ppd/HP --with-foomaticdir=DIR set foomatic db install directory default=datadir/foomatic
Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command CFLAGS C compiler flags LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a nonstandard directory <lib dir> LIBS libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library> CPPFLAGS C/C++/Objective C preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir> CPP C preprocessor CXX C++ compiler command CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags CXXCPP C++ preprocessor F77 Fortran 77 compiler command FFLAGS Fortran 77 compiler flags PYTHON Python interpreter/compiler command PYTHONINCLUDEDIR path to Python.h C header file
Use these variables to override the choices made by configure or to help it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
