Configure Options window

This window allows you to choose among the various configuration options provided by the autoconf configure script in the current directory.

This window can be opened automatically when the Makefile is being updated (if the Build Makefile from Imakefile or Makefile.in checkbox is on), or manually by selecting Makefile or Run configure... from the Build menu. See Make Systems for more information.

When the window is opened, the options you chose the last time are the default values. [1] This information is read from the config.status file, so it will be used even if you have never used maketool in this directory before.

The window has two modes, Basic (the default) and Advanced. The Advanced... button toggles between these two modes.

In Basic mode, the window has the following panes:

Advanced mode

In Advanced mode, more options become available in all the panes, and two new panes appear:

An exception is the Do not create output files option, which for obvious reasons is not saved in config.status.
