If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed with
an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving configure
the option --program-prefix=PREFIX or
--program-suffix=SUFFIX.
Some packages pay attention to --enable-feature
and --disable-feature options
to configure, where feature indicates an optional part
of the package. They may also pay attention to
--with-package and --without-package options,
where package is something like ‘gnu-ld’.
‘./configure --help’ should mention the
--enable-... and --with-...
options that the package recognizes.
Some packages offer the ability to configure how verbose the execution
of make will be. For these packages, running
‘./configure --enable-silent-rules’ sets the default to minimal
output, which can be overridden with make V=1; while running
‘./configure --disable-silent-rules’ sets the default to verbose,
which can be overridden with make V=0.
