as a convenience, macro definitions have been added for
g_node_insert_data, g_node_insert_data_before, g_node_append_data and
g_node_prepend_data.

The Nitty-Gritty
|
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'configure' script can be given a number of options to enable
|
|
|
|
|
and disable various features. For a complete list, type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A few of the more important ones:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
|
|
|
|
|
[ Defaults to /usr/local ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
|
|
|
|
|
[ Defaults to the value given to --prefix ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables before running configure. A few of the more
|
|
|
|
|
important ones:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CC : The C compiler to use
|
|
|
|
|
CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D
|
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS : C compiler flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most important use of this is to set the
|
|
|
|
|
optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no
|
|
|
|
|
debugging information at all, run configure as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation directories
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix
|
|
|
|
|
and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more
|
|
|
|
|
detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the
|
|
|
|
|
use of these flags is not tested.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One particular detail to note, is that the architecture-dependent
|
|
|
|
|
include file glibconfig.h is installed in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$exec_pref/lib/glib/include/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if you have a version in $prefix/include, this is out of date
|
|
|
|
|
and should be deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A shell script glib-config is created during the configure
|
|
|
|
|
process, and installed in the bin/ directory
|
|
|
|
|
($exec_prefix/bin). This is used to determine the location of glib
|
|
|
|
|
when building applications. If you move glib after installation,
|
|
|
|
|
it will be necessary to edit this file.
