<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><option>--with-gconf-schema-file-dir=/etc/gnome/gconf/schemas</option>: 
Use this option if you have the 
<application><acronym>GNOME</acronym>-2</application> 
<application>GConf</application> package installed.</para>

<para><option>--enable-gdk-pixbuf-loader</option>: Use this option to build 
the <acronym>GDK</acronym> pixbuf loader module if you have 
<application><acronym>GTK</acronym>+-2</application> installed.</para>

<!-- This module is currently broken
<para><option>-enable-xine</option>: Use this option to build the 
<application>Xine</application> wrapper module if you have 
<application>xine-libs</application> installed.</para>
 -->

<para><option>-enable-xine</option>: Using this option to build the 
<application>Xine</application> wrapper module will break the build if you 
have <application>xine-libs</application>-&xine-lib-version; installed.</para>

<para><option>--disable-musepack</option>: Use this option if you have 
<application>libmusepack</application>-1.1.1 installed, as this version
of <application>libmusepack</application> breaks the build.</para>

<para>Note: all other modules are built if the <command>configure</command> 
script discovers the required package. To prevent a module from being built, 
pass --disable-<replaceable>[module]</replaceable> to 
<command>configure</command>. Run <command>configure --help</command> for all 
the available module names.</para>
