configure configures aMule to adapt to many kinds of systems.

It's usage is ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

VAR=VALUE stands for environment variables you want to specify (VAR is the variable name and VALUE its value, obviously). For example, CC=gcc or CFLAGS="-O2.

OPTION is any (or several) of the options described in the tables bellow:

Basic options
-h or --help This will display a help message summing up all configure options
-V or --version This will display the version information
-q or --quiet or --silent Do not print the `checking...' messages, only the final summed up ouput
--cache-file=FILE Store the checkings' ouputs in FILE in a script format, so you can reuse without the need to rerun configure (read the cached file for more information)
-C or --config-cache Same as --cache-file=config.cache
-n or --no-create Just run configure, but do not create any file
--srcdir=DIR Look for the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']
Installation directories options
--prefix=PREFIX Set where to install architecture-independent files (data) in PREFIX. By dafault, this is set to /usr/local
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX Set where to install architecture-dependent files (mainly binaries) in EPREFIX. By default, this is set to the same value as PREFIX.

Some influential environment variables:
  CXX         C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS    C++ compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
              headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CXXCPP      C++ preprocessor
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  CPP         C preprocessor

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
