./Compile options for Slackware
 

What are the ./configure options for slackware? I'm curious because I'm building some stuff and I might as well make it compatible.

./configure options are dictated by the app/utility you're building. Not by Slackware.
To discover the options, run ./configure with the help flag thusly:

you can also add

./configure --prefix=/usr

so everything can be installed there, though if you use checkinstall you can just let the programs install to their default location, usually /usr/local or /opt

It gets deeper than configure. Slack builds for 486. It all comes down to your compiler and your build enviorment. man gcc to learn more

How does the configure script set up the options for 486 on gcc? Most i've done was --host= and --target=i486. So far my options has been --prefix=/opt/kde-3.2.3 for kde.

So the slackware packages like KDE are the default config options?

There are Slackware build scripts which are located in the source dir of the package involved on the source tree on ftp/cd/etc. You can use those to build something the way Slackware does.

Flags are included in those buildscripts as well.

thanks
