    <note>
      <para>If you wish to create the API documentation and you have
      <application>Doxygen</application> and <application>Graphviz</application>
      installed, <command>make apidox</command> must be done before
      <command>make install</command>. This applies to all packages which
      can utilize <application>Doxygen</application>.</para>

      <para>The <command>make apidox</command> command generates a lot of
      errors and warnings.  In some cases it complains that Helvetica fonts are
      missing and substitutes a font that does not fit boxes properly.  You can
      add the font by downloading the <ulink
      url="ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/release/">URW Fonts </ulink> and
      unpacking them into <filename class='directory'>~/.fonts</filename>.
      <command>fc-cache</command> should also be run to update the font
      properties on your system.</para>

      <para>The documents generated are HTML and are found in <filename
      class='directory'>&kde-dir;/share/doc/HTML/en/kdelibs-apidocs</filename>.

    <para><parameter>--prefix=&kde-dir;</parameter>: This option tells the process
    to install the package in <filename class="directory">&kde-dir;</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-debug</parameter>: This option causes the
    package to be compiled without debugging code.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-dependency-tracking</parameter>: This option
    speeds up one time builds.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-fast-malloc=full</parameter>: This option tells
    <application>KDE</application> programs to use an internal memory
    allocation scheme optimized for <application>KDE</application>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc/kde</parameter>: This option places
    configuration files in compliance with the <ulink
    url='http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION'
