APR configure options

Complete list of APR configure options for version 1.5.1.
In the terminal, change to the source directory and execute the below command.

# ./configure --help

 

`configure' configures this package 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]
  --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/PACKAGE]
--htmldir=DIR           html documentation [DOCDIR]
--dvidir=DIR            dvi documentation [DOCDIR]
--pdfdir=DIR            pdf documentation [DOCDIR]
--psdir=DIR             ps documentation [DOCDIR]



System types:

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
(Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP
C preprocessor
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations. Report bugs to the package provider.
