-<h1>configure.py Options</h1>
-<p>
-PyKDE builds and installs in a lot of different environments and it isn't always possible to
-foresee where users or distributions will locate components that PyKDE depends on. There are
-a number of command line switches used to force configure.py to look in the correct locations for
-directories or files.
-</p>
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">

-<pre CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING">
-python configure.py -h
-
-Usage:
- python configure.py [-h] [-c] [-d dir] [-g] [-j #] [-k] [-n dir] [-o dir] [-r] [-u] [-v dir] [-z file]
-where:
- -h displays this help message
- -c concatenates each module's C/C++ source files [default]
- -d dir where the PyKDE modules will be installed [default /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages]
- -g always release the GIL (SIP v3.x behaviour)
- -i no concatenation of each module's C/C++ source files
- -j # splits the concatenated C++ source files into # pieces [default 1]
- -k dir the KDE base directory
- -n dir the directory containing the KDE lib files
- -o dir the directory containing the KDE header files
- -r generates code with tracing enabled [default disabled]
- -u build with debugging symbols
- -v dir where the PyKDE .sip files will be installed [default /usr/share/sip]
- -w turn on KDE deprecated object warnings when compiling [default off]
- -z file the name of a file containing command line flags
-
-If reporting errors, paste all of the output above into your
-message and post to the PyKDE mailing list at:
-
- mailto: PyKDE@mats.imk.fraunhofer.de
- subscribe: http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
-
-You can redirect the output into a file (> output.txt) if needed

-NOTE: In the descriptions below "Default" is a "typical" value for common distributions <b>and
-may not be the complete path needed</b>. You should always specify the complete path.
-configure.py searches a number of locations in looking for the appropriate directories,
-which may depend on the distribution used, where the version of Python used to run
-configure.py is located, and other factors. For example, a default value of "python/site-packages"
-could be "/usr/lib/python/site-packages", "/usr/local/python2.3/site-packages" or other values
-depending on how and where Python is installed or which of several installed versions of Python
-is used to run configure.py. configure.py will not try to complete the path for switch specified paths -
-you <b>must</b> specifiy the complete path (eg /usr/lib/python/site-packages or ../kdecore)
-</p>
-<p>
-For "normal" installations, configure.py will automatically discover all of the information covered by
-the options below -- it is only necessary to use the options switches when configure.py can't discover
-a location by itself.

-<dt><b>-c Concatenation</b></dt>
-<dd>
-Building PyKDE involves loading a large number of cpp and h files. The compile process can be speeded up
-considerably (by as much as 80%) by concatenating all of the cpp files into a one (or several - see -j) large
-cpp file. The price for this speed up is a large increase in memory usage. By default, the feature is
-'on' in configure.py. To turn this feature off, use '-i'. You may wish to turn this off if the system doing
-the compile has 128MB or less RAM.

-Normally, the PyKDE modules are installed in python/site-packages. Writing to this directory requires
-root access. RPM builders sometimes need to build the modules to a different directory, or you may want
-to install the modules in a different location (for example, in a subdirectory of site-packages/). For this
-option to be useful, you need to ensure that Python can still locate and import the PyKDE modules from
-the specified destination.

-<hr>
-<dt><b>-g Always release GIL (sip 3.0 behaviour)</b></dt>
-<dd>
-This is a code generation option that only affects sip 4.0. It causes sip to generate C++
-whose threading behavior is more like sip 3.0.
-</dd>
-<hr>
-<dt><b>-i NO Concatenation</b></dt>
-<dd>
-This option causes configure.py to generate C++ code and makefiles that compile many small file
-one at a time (rather than one huge file for each module). This increase compile time by about
-80%, but reduces memory consumption. See -c above.

-Intended for use on multi-CPU systems. Splits the concatenated cpp file into the specified number
-of segments, each of which can be compiled concurrently in separate threads. On single processor
-systems, each "split" will compile in sequence. The kdeui module is (with concatenation active)
-is split into two pieces by default to reduce memory consumption. Values for 'j' greater than

-The top level directory under which kde3/libs and kde3/include are located (these paths can also

-If your site requires the use of more than one or two option switches, you can place all of the options
-in a text file and then reference only the text file's path and name on the command line. The options
-are placed in the text file just as they would be on the command line, with one option per line.
-For example, the options file for the command "python configure.py -c- -v /usr/local/PyQt/sip" would look
-like:
-<h4><u>options.txt</u></h4>
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">

-<td>
-<pre CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING">
--c
--v /usr/local/PyQt/sip

-If for some reason you need to rebuild a PyKDE module but not all of PyKDE, you can use -l.
--l &lt;modulename&gt; (eg -l kdecore) will rebuild only the module specified; -l &lt;modulename&gt;:
-(eg -l kdecore:) will rebuild the module specified and all successive modules. If changes are
-made that affect linking (especially deleting methods or other symbols), you must use the
-":" form, since later modules depend on earlier modules.
