# Configure Information

configure - configures HP Linux Imaging and Printing to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Note

You can also run ./configure --help from the hplip source directory for this information.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:

    -h, --help              display this help and exit
        --help=short        display options specific to this package
        --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
    -V, --version           display version information and exit
    -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print checking... messages
        --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
    -C, --config-cache      alias for --cache-file=config.cache
    -n, --no-create         do not create output files
        --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or ..]

Installation directories:

    --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                            [/usr/local]
    --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                            [PREFIX]

By default, make install will install all the files in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than /usr/local using --prefix, for instance --prefix=$HOME.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:

    --bindir=DIR           user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
