    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><parameter>--prefix=$(kde-config --prefix)</parameter>: This
    parameter uses <command>kde-config</command> to establish the prefix of
    the existing KDE installation and then sets the installation prefix for
    <application>Amarok</application> to the same value.</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>--without-included-sqlite</parameter>: This option forces
    the use of a system-installed copy of <application>SQLite</application>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-mysql</parameter>: This option enables use of a
    <application>MySQL</application> database for music collections.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-postresql</parameter>: This option enables use of a
    <application>PostgreSQL</application> database for music collections.</para>

    <para>Support for other optional dependencies may require passing options
    to the <command>configure</command> script. Refer to the output from
    <command>./configure --help</command> for additional information.</para>
