		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Copied from old wiki&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The configure script, which was generated by the&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf autoconf] tool,&lt;br /&gt;
accepts command line options that control various features.  It is&lt;br /&gt;
'''highly''' recommended to use the --enable-single-host option to&lt;br /&gt;
improve the execution speed and compactness of the executables:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
./configure --enable-single-host&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This option is not used by default because compilation is much longer&lt;br /&gt;
and requires much more RAM.  In fact some platforms may not have&lt;br /&gt;
enough resources to build the system this way.  With&lt;br /&gt;
--enable-single-host the build takes roughly 500 megabytes and 20&lt;br /&gt;
minutes on a 1.2 GHz Athlon Linux machine with the GCC 3.1 compiler&lt;br /&gt;
instead of 100 megabytes and 2 minutes when --enable-single-host is&lt;br /&gt;
not used.  However, the speed of the Gambit-C interpreter improves by&lt;br /&gt;
a factor of 2 as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is also '''highly''' recommended to use the GCC compiler to build&lt;br /&gt;
the system as the source code can take advantage of some GCC&lt;br /&gt;
extensions.  Notably the use of GCC's computed gotos reduces the&lt;br /&gt;
execution time by roughly 35%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We recommend that users build Gambit-C with GCC 3.1 or later; GCC 3.1&lt;br /&gt;
will compile C code generated by the Gambit-C compiler faster than&lt;br /&gt;
previous versions of GCC, and will generally produce faster code than&lt;br /&gt;
previous versions of GCC.  For example, the interpreter is about 5%&lt;br /&gt;
faster than when it is compiled with GCC 2.95.3.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other options of the configure script==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detailed list of options accepted by the &amp;quot;configure&amp;quot; script can be&lt;br /&gt;
obtained with:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
./configure --help&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most options are the same as for other autoconf generated configure&lt;br /&gt;
scripts.  For example, you can select the installation directory with&lt;br /&gt;
the option --prefix:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
./configure --prefix=/u/feeley/my-gambit&lt;br /&gt;
make install&lt;br /&gt;
~/my-gambit/bin/gsi&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the --prefix option is not used, the default is to install all&lt;br /&gt;
files in /usr/local/Gambit-C and its subdirectories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The configure options which are specific to the Gambit-C system are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-single-host    compile each Scheme module as a single C function&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-cplusplus      compile using C++ compiler&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-guide          include the Gambit Universal IDE (currently broken)&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-shared         build the Scheme runtime system as a shared library&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-debug          build system so that it can be debugged&lt;br /&gt;
  --enable-profile        build system so that it can be profiled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The option --enable-cplusplus should be used when applications&lt;br /&gt;
developed with the Gambit-C compiler are to be linked with code or&lt;br /&gt;
libraries written in C++.  This will compile all of the Gambit-C&lt;br /&gt;
source code with a C++ compiler instead of a C compiler (this is&lt;br /&gt;
possible because the code generated by the Gambit-C compiler conforms&lt;br /&gt;
both to C and C++).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The option --enable-guide will include the Gambit Universal IDE in the&lt;br /&gt;
Gambit-C runtime system.  The option --enable-cplusplus must be used&lt;br /&gt;
when the option --enable-guide is used.  The Gambit Universal IDE&lt;br /&gt;
requires the Qt GUI library version 3.3.  To include GUIDE it is&lt;br /&gt;
necessary to first build the system without including GUIDE (to have a&lt;br /&gt;
working Gambit-C compiler) and then rebuild the system with GUIDE&lt;br /&gt;
enabled.  For instance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
./configure --enable-cplusplus&lt;br /&gt;
make&lt;br /&gt;
make clean&lt;br /&gt;
./configure --enable-cplusplus --enable-guide&lt;br /&gt;
make&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The option --enable-shared will build a shared library for the&lt;br /&gt;
Gambit-C runtime system.  This is not supported on all platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The option --enable-debug and --enable-profile are useful for&lt;br /&gt;
debugging the system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By default the configure script will use the GCC compiler to build the&lt;br /&gt;
system, if it is available.  To override this choice or to use special&lt;br /&gt;
C compiler flags it is possible to set the environment variables CC,&lt;br /&gt;
CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc in the shell or on the configure command line.&lt;br /&gt;
Object file compilation options should go in CFLAGS, link options&lt;br /&gt;
should go in LDFLAGS, and options that apply to both can be next to&lt;br /&gt;
the name of the C compiler in CC.  Here are some examples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* To use cc instead of gcc:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
./configure CC=cc&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Sun Sparc workstation, the following will use the Sun Workshop C/C++ compiler and generate 64 bit executables (the heap can grow beyond 4 Gbytes):&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
./configure CC=&amp;quot;cc -xtarget=native -xarch=v9&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On a Compaq Alpha workstation, the following will use the Compaq Tru64 UNIX C/C++ compiler and generate executables that use 32 bit addressing instead of the normal 64 bit addressing (the heap and code will be in the lower 4 GBytes of the address space):&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
% ./configure CC=cc CFLAGS=&amp;quot;-w -D___USE_32_BIT_ADDR&amp;quot; LDFLAGS=-taso&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* By default, Gambit-C's runtime system does not restrict the size of the Scheme heap.  A heap overflow will only be signalled when virtual memory is all used up, which can take a long time and cause lots of paging.  This is not ideal for an educational environment where endless recursions are commonplace.  The symbol ___FORCE_MAX_HEAP can be defined to put a limit on the size of the heap.  To get a 5000 kilobyte limit (a reasonable amount for an educational environment) the system could be configured with:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
% ./configure CFLAGS=&amp;quot;-D___FORCE_MAX_HEAP=5000&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
