`configure' configures PostgreSQL 8.3.7 to adapt to many kinds of systems.
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/pgsql]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/pgsql/bin', `/usr/local/pgsql/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local/pgsql' 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]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share]
--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]
--infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]
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-integer-datetimes enable 64-bit integer date/time support
--enable-nls[=LANGUAGES] enable Native Language Support
--disable-shared do not build shared libraries
--disable-rpath do not embed shared library search path in executables
--disable-spinlocks do not use spinlocks
--enable-debug build with debugging symbols (-g)
--enable-profiling build with profiling enabled
--enable-dtrace build with DTrace support
--enable-depend turn on automatic dependency tracking
--enable-cassert enable assertion checks (for debugging)
--enable-thread-safety make client libraries thread-safe
--enable-thread-safety-force force thread-safety despite thread test failure
--disable-largefile omit support for large files
Optional Packages:
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
--with-docdir=DIR install the documentation in DIR [PREFIX/doc]
--without-docdir do not install the documentation
--with-includes=DIRS look for additional header files in DIRS
--with-libraries=DIRS look for additional libraries in DIRS
--with-libs=DIRS alternative spelling of --with-libraries
--with-pgport=PORTNUM change default port number [5432]
--with-tcl build Tcl modules (PL/Tcl)
--with-tclconfig=DIR tclConfig.sh is in DIR
--with-perl build Perl modules (PL/Perl)
--with-python build Python modules (PL/Python)
--with-gssapi build with GSSAPI support
--with-krb5 build with Kerberos 5 support
--with-krb-srvnam=NAME default service principal name in Kerberos [postgres]
--with-pam build with PAM support
--with-ldap build with LDAP support
--with-bonjour build with Bonjour support
--with-openssl build with OpenSSL support
--without-readline do not use GNU Readline nor BSD Libedit for editing
--with-libedit-preferred prefer BSD Libedit over GNU Readline
--with-ossp-uuid use OSSP UUID library when building contrib/uuid-ossp
--with-libxml build with XML support
--with-libxslt use XSLT support when building contrib/xml2
--with-system-tzdata=DIR use system time zone data in DIR
--without-zlib do not use Zlib
--with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
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>
CPPFLAGS C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor
LDFLAGS_SL
DOCBOOKSTYLE
location of DocBook stylesheets
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
