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 (configure.info)What Configure Does, for a full explanation of configure
.
configure [--help] [--prefix=dir] [--exec-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
Display a quick summary of how to invoke configure
.
--prefix=dir
Configure the source to install programs and files under directory `dir'.
--exec-prefix=dir
Configure the source to install programs under directory `dir'.
--srcdir=dirname
Warning: using this option requires GNU make
, or another
make
that implements the VPATH
feature.
Use this option to make configurations in directories separate from the
GDB source directories. Among other things, you can use this to
build (or maintain) several configurations simultaneously, in separate
directories. 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 only the directory level where configure
is executed; do not
propagate configuration to subdirectories.
--target=target
Configure GDB for cross-debugging programs running on the specified target. Without this option, GDB is configured to debug programs that run on the same machine (host) as GDB itself.
There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available targets.
host …
Configure GDB to run on the specified host.
There is no convenient way to generate a list of all available hosts.
There are many other options available as well, but they are generally needed for special purposes only.
