16.10 `configure' Invocation
============================
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
`--help'
`-h'
     Print a summary of all of the options to `configure', and exit.
`--help=short'
`--help=recursive'
     Print a summary of the options unique to this package's
     `configure', and exit.  The `short' variant lists options used
     only in the top level, while the `recursive' variant lists options
     also present in any nested packages.
`--version'
`-V'
     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
     script, and exit.
`--cache-file=FILE'
     Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
     traditionally `config.cache'.  FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
     disable caching.
`--config-cache'
`-C'
     Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To
     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
     messages will still be shown).
`--srcdir=DIR'
     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
`--prefix=DIR'
     Use DIR as the installation prefix.  *note Installation Names::
     for more details, including other options available for fine-tuning
     the installation locations.
`--no-create'
`-n'
     Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output
     files.
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.  Run
`configure --help' for more details.
