1 2 3 |
bzr branch lp:nux cd nux ./autogen.sh --prefix= <@arguments> |
Arguments can be:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
--enable-x-support whether to have x_support (default=YES) --enable-opengles-20 whether to use opengles (default=NO) --enable-minimal-build whether to enable minimal builds (default=NO) --disable-gestures whether to disable multitouch gestures (auto) --enable-tests whether to enable tests (default=YES) --enable-documentation whether to enable documentation (default=NO) --enable-maintainer-mode whether to use strict compiler flags (default=NO) --enable-debug whether to enable nux debugging (default=NO) --enable-examples whether to enable building of examples (default=YES) --enable-gputests whether to enable building of gputests (default=YES) |
