Set compilation and installation parameters for XEmacs, and report.
-CONFIGURATION is an optional architecture-vendor-os triple, such as
-`sparc-sun-solaris2.7'. When possible, omit it; configure will detect it.
-
-Conventions for options:
-- Boolean options may be explicitly enabled by using `--OPTION=yes' and
- explicitly disabled by using `--OPTION=no'. `--OPTION' (with no argument)
- is equivalent to `--OPTION=yes'. `--without-FEATURE' is a synonym for
- `--with-FEATURE=no'. Denoted `(Bool)' below.
-- Enumerated options accept one type from a specified list. These usually
- accept `--OPTION=no' to disable it entirely, and `--OPTION=yes' often has a
- useful default. Denoted `(Enum)'.
-- Set options accept one or more types from a list of implementations of the
- feature. All specified implementations will be included. Prefix a type
- with `no' to disable only that implementation (e.g., `--with-sound=noesd'
- to disable ESD). The special values `none' and `all' must be first in the
- list if used. They change the defaults for all types individually from
- autodetect to `no' or `yes' respectively. `--with-sound=none,native' and
- `--with-sound=noesd,nonas,native' have the same effect. Denoted `(Set)'.
-- Other options have special, option-specific formats.
-
-Options marked with a (*) are auto-detected. If auto-detected and not
-explicitly specified, normally
-- Boolean options default to `yes'.
-- Enumerated options default to the first detected type in an option-specific
- priority. Possible defaults are marked with (*) and listed in order.
-- Set options default to all detected types.
-
-Some options are provided mainly to disable features which are on by default.
-These are indicated by specifying `--OPTION=no'. Explicitly specifying an
-autodetected option which defaults to `yes' makes a failure to detect signal
-a fatal configure error.
+Note that for most of the following options, you can explicitly enable
+them using `--OPTION=yes' and explicitly disable them using `--OPTION=no'.
+This is especially useful for auto-detected options.
+The option `--without-FEATURE' is a synonym for `--with-FEATURE=no'.
+
+Options marked with a (*) are auto-detected.
+
+Many features require external packages to be installed first.
+Get them from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux.
Use colons (or quoted spaces) to separate directory names in option
values which are PATHs (i.e. lists of directories).
-Many features require external packages to be installed. configure will fail
-if an explicitly requested feature depends on an uninstalled package. On many
-Linux systems, you must install -devel versions of the package.
-
The results of configure tests are saved in config.log, which is useful
-for diagnosing problems. Caching of configure results is disabled.
-If successful, configure leaves its status in config.status. If
-unsuccessful after disturbing the status quo, it removes config.status.

subdirectories, just after 'site-includes' and

- with VPATH; GNU Make is recommended.
+--site-runtime-libraries=PATH
+ List of ALL directories to search for dynamically
+ linked libraries at run time
+--dynamic=yes Link dynamically if supported by system.
+--dynamic=no Force static linking on systems where dynamic
+ linking is the default.
+--srcdir=DIR Look for the XEmacs source files in DIR.
+ Works best when using GNU Make.
Installation options:
--prefix=DIR Install files below DIR. Defaults to `/usr/local'.
---with-prefix=no (Bool) Compile the value of `--prefix' into XEmacs.
---infodir=DIR Install XEmacs Info manuals and dir in DIR.
---moduledir=DIR Install dynamic modules in DIR.
-
-You may also specify any of the `path' variables found in Makefile.in.in,
-including `--bindir', `--libdir', `--docdir', `--lispdir', `--sitelispdir',
-`--datadir', `--mandir' and so on. These options are DEPRECATED; see INSTALL.
-
-
-Runtime search path options:
-
---with-site-modules=no (Bool) Search directories in the XEmacs hierarchy named
- `site-modules' before the installed module directories.
---with-site-lisp (Bool) Search a site-lisp directory in the XEmacs
- hierarchy before the packaged Lisp. DEPRECATED.
---package-path=PATH Directories to search for packages to dump with xemacs.
- PATH splits into three parts separated by double
- colons (::), an `early', a `late', and a `last' part,
- corresponding to their position in the various
- system paths: The `early' part is always first,
- the `late' part somewhere in the middle, and the
- `last' part at the very back.
- Only the `late' part gets seen at dump time.
- If PATH has only one component, it is `late'. With two
- components, the first is `early', the second is `late'.
---infopath=PATH Directories to search for Info documents, info dir
- and localdir files if run-time searching fails.
+--with-prefix=no Don't compile the value of --prefix into the
+ executable.
Window-system options:
---with-gtk (Bool) Use GTK on the X Window System. (EXPERIMENTAL)

-
-GUI component options:
-
-Select the widget set used to implement components, Lucid, Motif, or Athena.
-If `--with-gtk', `--with-gnome', or `--with-msw' are used or implied, treat
-component options as Bool. The `lucid' widgets are a homebrew set, emulating
-Motif but faster. Lucid toolbars, menubars, and scrollbars are implemented
-in Xt. Lucid dialogs and misc widgets wrap and enhance Athena (maybe Motif;
-platform-dependent). Several enhanced (eg, 3d) Athena libraries may be used,
-but the default is the X11R6 `libXaw' (flat) widgets. Use `--with-athena' to
-explicitly specify which library to link against.
-
---with-toolbars=no (Bool) Don't compile with any toolbar support.
---with-menubars=TYPE (Enum) Types: `lucid'(*), `motif', or `no'.

+--with-athena=TYPE Use TYPE Athena widgets
+ (xaw, 3d, next, 95, or xpm)

---with-dragndrop (*) Support generic drag and drop API. (EXPERIMENTAL)
---with-cde Support CDE drag and drop API (requires dragndrop).
---with-offix Support OffiX drag and drop API (requires dragndrop).
- *WARNING* OffiX support may interfere with use of
- multiple X displays. If the two servers are from
- different vendors, the results may be unpredictable.
+--with-scrollbars=TYPE Use TYPE scrollbars
+ (lucid, motif, athena, or no).
+--with-dialogs=TYPE Use TYPE dialog boxes (motif, athena, or no).
+ Lucid menubars and scrollbars are the default.
+ Motif dialog boxes will be used if Motif can be found.
+--with-widgets=TYPE Use TYPE widgets (motif, athena, or no).
+ Motif widgets will be used if Motif can be found.
+ Other widget types are currently unsupported.
+--with-dragndrop Compile in the generic drag and drop API. This is

+ and is considered experimental.
+--with-cde Compile in support for CDE drag and drop.
+--with-offix Compile in support for OffiX drag and drop.
+ *WARNING* If you compile in OffiX, you may not be
+ able to use multiple X displays success-
+ fully. If the two servers are from
+ different vendors, the results may be
+ unpredictable.
+--with-xmu=no (*) For those unfortunates whose vendors don't ship Xmu.
+--external-widget Compile with external widget support.
TTY (character terminal) options:
--with-tty=no Don't support ttys.
--with-ncurses (*) Use the ncurses library for tty support.
---with-gpm (*) Support the GPM mouse library for ttys.

---with-xface (*) Support X-Face mail headers. Requires libcompface.
---with-gif=no Omit the (builtin) support for GIF images.
+--with-xpm (*) Compile with support for XPM images. PRACTICALLY
+ REQUIRED. Although this library is nonstandard and
+ a real hassle to build, many basic things (e.g.
+ toolbars) depend on it, and you will run into
+ many problems without it.
+--with-png (*) Compile with support for PNG images. Recommended
+ because the images on the About page are not viewable
+ without it.
+--with-jpeg (*) Compile with support for JPEG images. Useful if
+ you are using a mail, news reader, or web browser
+ in XEmacs, so that JPEG images can be displayed.
+--with-tiff (*) Compile with support for TIFF images. Possibly
+ useful, for the same reason as JPEG images.
+--with-xface (*) Compile with support for X-Face mail headers.

+ Valid types are `native', `nas' and `esd'.
+ Prefix a type with 'no' to disable.
+ The first option can be `none' or `all'.
+ `none' is a synonym for `nonative,nonas,noesd'.
+ `all' is a synonym for native,nas,esd or `all'.
+ The default is to autodetect all sound support.
--native-sound-lib=LIB Native sound support library. Needed on Suns

- libraries are called libaudio.
+ with --with-sound=both because both sound libraries
+ are called libaudio.
Database options:
---with-database=TYPES (*) (Set) Support key:value databases.
