-Configuring ACE Using the `configure' Script
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-To help speed development, the work being done by the ACE Configuration Project
-is being slowly introduced into the official ACE distribution. Some of the
-functionality in the work created by the ACE Configuration Project has been
-removed so that ACE may be built in the usual fashion. Once the ACE
-Configuration Project work stabilizes on more platforms that removed
-functionality may be added to ACE.
-
-Currently the configure script contains most of the tests that are necessary to
-properly configure ACE on most platforms. However, there are still some
-autoconf tests that are missing. As such, you may encounter and most likely
-will have compilation problems. Please report any problems to the contacts
-listed at the end of this document.
-
-The `configure' script that is currently being used has been modified from the
-ACE Configuration Project's `configure' script to prevent makefiles from
-being automatically generated since there are still some issues that must be
-addressed before automatically generated makefiles are incorporated into the
-official ACE distribution.
-
-A listing of available configure script options can be shown by entering
-
- ./configure --help
-
-at the command line. The output should look something like the following:
-
-Usage: configure [options] [host]
-Options: [defaults in brackets after descriptions]
-Configuration:
- --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE
- --help print this message
- --no-create do not create output files
- --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
- --version print the version of autoconf that created configure
-Directory and file names:
- --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
- [/usr/local]
- --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
- [same as prefix]
- --bindir=DIR user executables in DIR [EPREFIX/bin]
- --sbindir=DIR system admin executables in DIR [EPREFIX/sbin]
- --libexecdir=DIR program executables in DIR [EPREFIX/libexec]
- --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data in DIR
- [PREFIX/share]
- --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data in DIR [PREFIX/etc]
- --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data in DIR
- [PREFIX/com]
- --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data in DIR [PREFIX/var]
- --libdir=DIR object code libraries in DIR [EPREFIX/lib]
- --includedir=DIR C header files in DIR [PREFIX/include]
- --oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc in DIR [/usr/include]
- --infodir=DIR info documentation in DIR [PREFIX/info]
- --mandir=DIR man documentation in DIR [PREFIX/man]
- --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or ..]
- --program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names
- --program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names
- --program-transform-name=PROGRAM
- run sed PROGRAM on installed program names
-Host type:
- --build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [BUILD=HOST]

-
-To enable debugging and disable code inlining, for example, just enter the
-following on the command line:
-
- ./configure --enable-debug --disable-inline
-
-This will generate a configuration header file `ace/config.h' to be used when
-compiling ACE that will enable ACE debugging macros and disable code inlining
-during compilation of ACE.
-
-Once the `ace/config.h' header has been created you will have to select a
-platform macros file. Please read the ACE installation documents for more
-information about this.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-Caveats
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-Much of the power of the `configure' script will not be useful until the
-automatically generated makefiles are enabled in ACE. Configuration options
-such as "--prefix" will not be useful for this reason.
-
-The `configure' script will check for libraries that contain certain functions.
-If it finds a library that isn't listed in your platform_macros.GNU file you
-will have to add that library to the list of libraries to link against.
