configure options

This section gives pointers to descriptions of the `--with' and `--enable' configure arguments that Web2c accepts. Some are specific to Web2c, others are generic to all Kpathsea-using programs.

For a list of all the options configure accepts, run `configure --help'. The generic options are listed first, and the package-specific options come last.

For a description of the generic options (which mainly allow you to specify installation directories) and basic configure usage, see section `Running configure scripts' in Autoconf (a copy is in the file `kpathsea/CONFIGURE').

`--without-maketexpk-default'

`--without-maketextfm-default'

`--with-maketextex-default'

Enable or disable the dynamic generation programs. See section `MakeTeX configuration' in Kpathsea. The defaults are the inverse of the options, i.e., everything is enabled except MakeTeXTeX.
