       _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e is a program used to prepare souce  code  to  be
       built.   It does this by generating Makefiles and .gdbinit
       files, creating symlinks, recursing in subdirectories, and
       some other miscellaneous file editing.


OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e accepts the following options:


       _-_-_t_a_r_g_e_t_=_T_A_R_G_E_T
              Requests  that  the sources be configured to target
              the _T_A_R_G_E_T machine.   If  no  target  is  specified
              explicitly, the target is assumed to be the same as
              the host.


       _-_-_s_r_c_d_i_r_=_D_I_R
              tells configure to find the source in _D_I_R_.   Object
              code is always built in the current directory, _`_._'_.


       _-_-_r_m   asks configure to  remove  a  configuration  rather
              than create one.


       _-_-_s_i_t_e_=_S_I_T_E
              asks  configure  to  use any site-specific Makefile
              fragments for _S_I_T_E when building Makefiles.


       _-_-_p_r_e_f_i_x_=_D_I_R
              sets the location in which to install files to _D_I_R_.
              The default is "/usr/local".

       _-_-_e_x_e_c___p_r_e_f_i_x_=_D_I_R
              sets the root directory for host-dependent files to
              _D_I_R_.  The default location is the value of  _p_r_e_f_i_x_.


       _-_-_p_r_o_g_r_a_m___p_r_e_f_i_x_=_D_I_R
              configures  the  source  to  install programs which
              have the same names as common Unix  programs,  such
              as  "make", in _D_I_R_.  Also applies to programs which
              might be used for cross-compilation.


       _-_-_t_m_p_d_i_r_=_D_I_R
              sets the directory in which configure creates  tem-
              porary files to _D_I_R_.


       _-_-_w_i_t_h_-_P_A_C_K_A_G_E_[_=_Y_E_S_/_N_O_]
              sets a flag for the build to recognize that _P_A_C_K_A_G_E
              is explicitly present or not present.   If  _=_Y_E_S_/_N_O
              is  nonexistent,  the  default  is _Y_E_S_.  _-_-_w_i_t_h_o_u_t_-
              _P_A_C_K_A_G_E is equivalent to _-_-_w_i_t_h_-_P_A_C_K_A_G_E_=_n_o.


       _-_-_e_n_a_b_l_e_-_F_E_A_T_U_R_E_[_=_Y_E_S_/_N_O_]
              sets a flag for the build to recognize that _F_E_A_T_U_R_E
              should  be included or not included.  If _=_Y_E_S_/_N_O is
              nonexistent, the default is _Y_E_S_.  _-_-_d_i_s_a_b_l_e_-_F_E_A_T_U_R_E
              is equivalent to _-_-_e_n_a_b_l_e_-_F_E_A_T_U_R_E_=_n_o.


       _-_-_n_o_r_e_c_u_r_s_i_o_n
              asks that only the current directory be configured.
              Normally _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e recurs on subdirectories.


       _-_n_f_p   Notifies _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e that all of the specified  hosts
              have _n_o _f_l_o_a_t_i_n_g _p_o_i_n_t units.


       _-_s     used internally by configure to supress status mes-
              sages on subdirectory recursions.  Override with _-_v


       _-_v     verbose  output.   Asks that configure print status
              lines for  each  directory  configured.   Normally,
              only the status lines for the current directory are
              printed.


       _-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
              _-_V prints _c_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_e version number.
