| <h3><a name="configurationoptions" id="configurationoptions">Configuration options</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>The following options influence the behavior of |
| <code>configure</code> itself.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>-C</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>--config-cache</code></dt> |
| <dd>This is an alias for <code>--cache-file=config.cache</code></dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--cache-file=<var>FILE</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>The test results will be cached in file <var>FILE</var>. |
| This option is disabled by default.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>-h</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>--help [short|recursive]</code></dt> |
| <dd>Output the help and exit. With the argument <code>short</code> only |
| options specific to this package will displayed. The argument |
| <code>recursive</code> displays the short help of all the included |
| packages.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>-n</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>--no-create</code></dt> |
| <dd>The <code>configure</code> script is run normally but does |
| not create output files. This is useful to check the test results |
| before generating makefiles for compilation.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>-q</code></dt> |
| <dt><code>--quiet</code></dt> |
| <dd>Do not print <code>checking ...</code> messages during the |
| configure process.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--srcdir=<var>DIR</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>Defines directory <var>DIR</var> to be the source file directory. |
| Default is the directory, where configure is located, or the parent |
| directory <code>..</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--silent</code></dt> |
| <dd>Same as <code>--quiet</code></dd> |
| |
| <dt>-V</dt> |
| <dt>--version</dt> |
| <dd>Display copyright information and exit.</dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| |
| <h3><a name="installationdirectories" id="installationdirectories">Installation |
| directories</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>These options define the installation directory. The installation |
| tree depends on the selected layout.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>--prefix=<var>PREFIX</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>Install architecture-independent files in <var>PREFIX</var>. |

| </dl> |
| |
| <p>By default, <code>make install</code> will install all the files in |
| <code>/usr/local/apache2/bin</code>, <code>/usr/local/apache2/lib</code> |
| etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than |

| <dl> |
| <dt><code>--enable-layout=<var>LAYOUT</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>Configure the source code and build scripts to assume an |
| installation tree based on the layout <var>LAYOUT</var>. This allows |
| you to separately specify the locations for each type of file within |
| the Apache HTTP Server installation. The <code>config.layout</code> |
| file contains several example configurations, and you can also create |
| your own custom configuration following the examples. The different |
| layouts in this file are grouped into <code><Layout |
| FOO>...</Layout></code> sections and referred to by name as |
| in <code>FOO</code>. The default layout is <code>Apache</code>.</dd> |

| |
| <h3><a name="systemtypes" id="systemtypes">System types</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>These options are used to cross-compile the Apache HTTP Server to run on |
| another system. In normal cases, when building and running the server on |
| the same system, these options are not used.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>--build=<var>BUILD</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>Defines the system type of the system on which the tools are being |
| built. It defaults to the result of the script |
| <code>config.guess</code>.</dd> |

| <dd>Defines the system type of the system on which the server will run. |
| <var>HOST</var> defaults to <var>BUILD</var>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--target=<var>TARGET</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>Configure for building compilers for the system type |
| <var>TARGET</var>. It defaults to <var>HOST</var>. This option is |
| offered by <code>autoconf</code> and not necessary for the Apache HTTP |
| Server.</dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| |
| <h3><a name="optionalfeatures" id="optionalfeatures">Optional Features</a></h3> |
| |
| <p>These options are used to fine tune the features your HTTP server will |
| have.</p> |
| |
| <h4><a name="generaloptfeat" id="generaloptfeat">General syntax</a></h4> |
| <p>Generally you can use the following syntax to enable or disable a |
| feature:</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>--disable-<var>FEATURE</var></code></dt> |
| <dd>Do not include <var>FEATURE</var>. This is the same as |
| <code>--enable-<var>FEATURE</var>=no</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--enable-<var>FEATURE</var>[=<var>ARG</var>]</code></dt> |
| <dd>Include <var>FEATURE</var>. The default value for <var>ARG</var> |
| is <code>yes</code>.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--enable-<var>MODULE</var>=shared</code></dt> |
| <dd>The corresponding module will be build as DSO module.</dd> |
| |
| <dt><code>--enable-<var>MODULE</var>=static</code></dt> |
| <dd>By default enabled modules are linked statically. You can force |
| this explicitly.</dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <div class="note"><h3>Note</h3> |
| <code>configure</code> will not complain about |
| <code>--enable-<var>foo</var></code> even if <var>foo</var> doesn't |
| exist, so you need to type carefully. |
| </div> |
| |
