Making a DotPet: I need some ./configure options help

#1 Post by Shagbag »

I'm just starting to compile some packages for Puppy 2.16 but I realise I may not be compiling them with the correct ./configure options. I've read some of the topics on this forum but a lot of them are 2006 or earlier so I'm not sure if they're current.

At the moment I'm compiling with:

./configure --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/local

and then

make
new2dir make install

but should I be doing something else - particularly with the ./configure options (I always read the README and INSTALL files, btw)? I would really appreciate some guidance as I think I could actually contribute something back to this great project.

that looks pretty good for a start.

some apps need special switches for optional functions, some functions are autodetected if dependancies are found.

if it compiled with what you used and you aren't missing any functions you wanted for that app, looks like you are all set.

./configure --help

will give you additional info usually.
