Installation Environment Variables

This chapter describes the various configuration variables that can be set when installing Lire. These can be set using options to ./configure or by setting environment variables.

./configure parameters

--prefix

This option specifies where Lire will be installed.

Defaults to /usr/local.

--bindir

This option specifies where Lire's executables intended for users will be installed.

Defaults to ${prefix}/bin.

--sysconfdir

This option specifies where Lire's configuration files will be installed. (Actually, they will be installed in a subdirectory of this one named lire.)

Defaults to ${prefix}/etc.

--libexecdir

This option specifies where Lire's internal executables and scripts will be installed. (Actually, they will be installed in a subdirectory of this one named lire.)

Defaults to ${prefix}/libexec.

--sharedstatedir

This option specifies where Lire's data files will be installed. (Actually, they will be installed in a subdirectory of this one named lire.)

Defaults to ${prefix}/share.

--mandir

This option specifies where Lire's man pages will be installed.

Defaults to ${prefix}/man.

--with-perl5libdir

This option specifies where Lire's perl modules will be installed.

Defaults to ${prefix}/share/perl5.

--with-perl5archlibdir

This option specifies where architecture dependent perl modules (like XML::Parser) will be installed.

Defaults to ${prefix}/lib/perl5.

--with-spooldir

This option specifies the default value of LR_SPOOLDIR which is the spool directory used by the responder (see the section called “Responder Configuration Parameters” for a description of this variable). Unless you're running your own responder, this variable is not interesting.

--with-archivedir

When you're archiving your reports and logs using the archive feature (see the section called “The Lire Archive and Temporary Files”), this sets the default value of LR_ARCHIVEDIR (see the section called “General Configuration Parameters” for a description of this variable.)

--with-sgmldir

Sets the directory where SGML files will looked for. The configuration script will look in some "standard" locations under that directory to find the DocBook DTD and stylesheets.

Per default, ./configure will look in/usr/lib/sgml, /usr/share/sgml, /usr/local/lib/sgml and /usr/local/share/sgml.
