Usage: configure [options] [assignments]
|
|
|
|
Configure understands variable assignments like VAR=value on the command line.
|
|
Each uppercased library name (obtainable with -list-libraries) supports the
|
|
suffixes _INCDIR, _LIBDIR, _PREFIX (INCDIR=PREFIX/include, LIBDIR=PREFIX/lib),
|
|
_LIBS, and - on Windows and Darwin - _LIBS_DEBUG and _LIBS_RELEASE. E.g.,
|
|
ICU_PREFIX=/opt/icu42 ICU_LIBS="-licui18n -licuuc -licudata".
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to manipulate any QMAKE_* variable, to amend the values
|
|
from the mkspec for the build of Qt itself, e.g., QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-g3.
|
|
|
|
Note that the *_LIBS* and QMAKE_* assignments manipulate lists, so items
|
|
containing meta characters (spaces in particular) need to be quoted according
|
|
to qmake rules. On top of that, the assignments as a whole need to be quoted
|
|
according to shell rules. It is recommended to use single quotes for the inner
|
|
quoting and double quotes for the outer quoting.
|
|
|
|
Top-level installation directories:
|
|
-prefix <dir> ...... The deployment directory, as seen on the target device.
|
|
[/usr/local/Qt-$QT_VERSION; qtbase build directory if
|
|
-developer-build]
|
|
-extprefix <dir> ... The installation directory, as seen on the host machine.
|
|
[SYSROOT/PREFIX]
|
|
-hostprefix [dir] .. The installation directory for build tools running on
|
|
the host machine. If [dir] is not given, the current
|
|
build directory will be used. [EXTPREFIX]
|
|
-external-hostbindir <path> ... Path to Qt tools built for this machine.
|
|
Use this when -platform does not match the current
|
|
system, i.e., to make a Canadian Cross Build.
|
|
|
|
Fine tuning of installation directory layout. Note that all directories
|
|
except -sysconfdir should be located under -prefix/-hostprefix:
|
|
|
|
-bindir <dir> ......... Executables [PREFIX/bin]
|
|
-headerdir <dir> ...... Header files [PREFIX/include]
|
|
-libdir <dir> ......... Libraries [PREFIX/lib]
|
|
-archdatadir <dir> .... Arch-dependent data [PREFIX]
|
|
-plugindir <dir> ...... Plugins [ARCHDATADIR/plugins]
|
|
-libexecdir <dir> ..... Helper programs [ARCHDATADIR/bin on Windows,
|
|
ARCHDATADIR/libexec otherwise]
|
|
-importdir <dir> ...... QML1 imports [ARCHDATADIR/imports]
|
|
-qmldir <dir> ......... QML2 imports [ARCHDATADIR/qml]
|
|
-datadir <dir> ........ Arch-independent data [PREFIX]
|
|
-docdir <dir> ......... Documentation [DATADIR/doc]
|
|
-translationdir <dir> . Translations [DATADIR/translations]
|
|
-sysconfdir <dir> ..... Settings used by Qt programs [PREFIX/etc/xdg]
|
|
-examplesdir <dir> .... Examples [PREFIX/examples]
|
|
-testsdir <dir> ....... Tests [PREFIX/tests]
|
|
|
|
-hostbindir <dir> ..... Host executables [HOSTPREFIX/bin]
|
|
-hostlibdir <dir> ..... Host libraries [HOSTPREFIX/lib]
|
|
-hostdatadir <dir> .... Data used by qmake [HOSTPREFIX]
|
|
|
|
Conventions for the remaining options: When an option's description is
|
|
followed by a list of values in brackets, the interpretation is as follows:
|
|
'yes' represents the bare option; all other values are possible prefixes to
|
|
the option, e.g., -no-gui. Alternatively, the value can be assigned, e.g.,
|
|
--gui=yes. Values are listed in the order they are tried if not specified;
|
|
'auto' is a shorthand for 'yes/no'. Solitary 'yes' and 'no' represent binary
|
|
options without auto-detection.
|
|
|
|
Configure meta:
|
|
|
|
-help, -h ............ Display this help screen
|
|
-verbose, -v ......... Print verbose messages during configuration
|
|

|
Additional options may be passed, but will not be
|
|
saved for later use by -redo.
|
|
-recheck [test,...] .. Discard cached negative configure test results.
|
|
Use this after installing missing dependencies.
