`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

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]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/bin', `/usr/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr' 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]
  --sbindir=DIR          system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
  --libexecdir=DIR       program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
  --datadir=DIR          read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share]
  --sysconfdir=DIR       read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
  --sharedstatedir=DIR   modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
  --localstatedir=DIR    modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
  --libdir=DIR           object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
  --includedir=DIR       C header files [PREFIX/include]
  --oldincludedir=DIR    C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
  --infodir=DIR          info documentation [PREFIX/info]
  --mandir=DIR           man documentation [PREFIX/man]

Optional Features:
  --disable-FEATURE       do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
  --enable-FEATURE[=ARG]  include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
  --enable-verbose-printk  enables verbose printk (file + line number)

Optional Packages:
  --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
  --without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
  --with-cross=dir        give the cross-compile prefix
  --with-kernel=dir       give the directory with kernel sources
                          [/usr/src/linux]
  --with-build=dir        give the directory with kernel build tree
  --with-redhat=no,yes,auto  specify Red Hat kernel build
  --with-suse=no,yes,auto  specify SUSE kernel build
  --with-moddir=/path     give the path for the alsa driver kernel modules
                          [/lib/modules/<KVER>/misc]
  --with-debug=level      give the debug level (none,basic,full,detect)
  --with-isapnp=yes,no,auto  driver will (not) be compiled with ISA PnP support
  --with-sequencer=yes,no  driver will (not) be compiled with sequencer support
  --with-oss=no,yes       driver will (not) be compiled with OSS/Free emulation
  --with-pcmcia=kernel,external   support kernel PCMCIA driver or external PCMCIA driver
  --with-pcmcia-root=dir  specify the root directory of external PCMCIA source-tree
  --with-asihpk=dir       specify the AudioScience HPK source code tree
  --with-cards=<list>     compile driver for cards in <list>;
                          cards may be separated with commas;
                          'all' compiles all drivers;

                          sb16-csp, bt87x-overclock, cs46xx-new-dsp

Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      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>
  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.
