<appendix id="compiling">
<title>Compiling the gdk-pixbuf library</title>
<para>
This appendix describes the special options you can use while
compiling the gdk-pixbuf library.
</para>
<sect1 id="building">
<title>Building the Library</title>
<para>
The gdk-pixbuf library uses the standard GNU build system,
using <productname>autoconf</productname> for package
configuration and resolving portability issues,
<productname>automake</productname> for building makefiles
that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and
<productname>libtool</productname> for building shared
libraries on multiple platforms. The normal sequence for
compiling and installing the gdk-pixbuf library is thus:
<literallayout>
<userinput>./configure</userinput>
<userinput>make</userinput>
<userinput>make install</userinput>
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
The standard options provided by <productname>GNU
autoconf</productname> may be passed to the
<command>configure</command> script. Please see the
<productname>autoconf</productname> documentation or run
<command>./configure --help</command> for information about
the standard options.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="extra-configuration-options">
<title>Extra Configuration Options</title>
<para>
In addition to the normal options, the
<command>configure</command> script in the gdk-pixbuf library
supports these additional arguments:
<cmdsynopsis>
<command>configure</command>
<group>
<arg>--disable-modules</arg>
<arg>--enable-modules</arg>
</group>
<group>
<arg>--disable-gtk-doc</arg>
<arg>--enable-gtk-doc</arg>
</group>
</cmdsynopsis>
</para>
<formalpara>
<title><systemitem>--disable-modules</systemitem> and
<systemitem>--enable-modules</systemitem></title>
<para>
Normally gdk-pixbuf will try to build the image file format
loaders as little shared libraries that are loaded on
demand. The <systemitem>--disable-modules</systemitem>
argument indicates that they should all be built statically
into the gdk-pixbuf library instead. This is useful for
people who need to produce statically-linked binaries. If
neither <systemitem>--disable-modules</systemitem> nor
<systemitem>--enable-modules</systemitem> is specified, then
the <command>configure</command> script will try to
auto-detect whether shared modules work on your system.
</para>
</formalpara>
<formalpara>
<title><systemitem>--disable-gtk-doc</systemitem> and
<systemitem>--enable-gtk-doc</systemitem></title>
<para>
By default the <command>configure</command> script will try
to auto-detect whether the
<productname>gtk-doc</productname> package is installed. If
it is, then it will use it to extract and build the
documentation for the gdk-pixbuf library. These options can
be used to explicitly control whether gtk-doc should be used
or not. If it is not used, the distributed, pre-generated
HTML files will be installed instead of building them on
your machine.
