89 <para><command>sed -i '/autoconf/d' Makefile</command>: This command
90 disables running <command>autoconf</command> because it is
91 unnecessary.</para>
92
93 <para><command>make DEBUG=-DNDEBUG</command>: The <application>XFS
94 </application> build will fail using the default -DDEBUG flags.</para>
95
96 <para><parameter>INSTALL_USER=root INSTALL_GROUP=root</parameter>: This
97 sets the owner and group of the installed files.</para>
98 <!-- relevant only if building as non-root -->
99
100 <para><parameter>LOCAL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="..."</parameter>: This passes
101 extra configuration options to the <filename>configure</filename> script.
102 The example <parameter>--enable-readline=yes</parameter> parameter
103 enables linking the XFS programs with the
104 <filename class="libraryfile">libreadline.so</filename> library, in order
105 to allow editing interactive commands.</para>
106
107 <para><parameter>OPTIMIZER="..."</parameter>: Adding this parameter to
108 the end of the <command>make</command> command overrides the
109 default optimization settings.</para>
110
111 <para><command>make install-dev</command>: This command installs
112 static XFS libraries, their headers and the corresponding documentation.
113 Currently, <ulink url="ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/">DMAPI</ulink>
114 and <ulink url="ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/">xfsdump</ulink> are
115 the only packages that use the installed libraries.</para>
116 <!-- checked with the Debian package database as of 2007-01-14 -->
117
118 <para><command>install -v ...</command> and the three following commands
