-./configure [options]
-there are six particularly important variables that affect where the
-smartmontools software is installed. The variables are listed here,
-with their default values in square brackets, and the quantities that
-they affect described following that. This is a very wide table: please read
-it in a wide window.
-
-OPTIONS DEFAULT AFFECTS
-------- ------- -------
---prefix /usr/local Please see below
---sbindir ${prefix}/sbin Directory for smartd/smartctl executables;
- Contents of smartd/smartctl man pages
---docdir ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools Location of the documentation
- (autoconf >= 2.60 only, see also --with-docdir below)
---mandir ${prefix}/share/man Directory for smartctl/smartd/smartd.conf man pages
---sysconfdir ${prefix}/etc Directory for smartd.conf;
- Contents of smartd executable;
- Contents of smartd/smartd.conf man pages;
- Directory for rc.d/init.d/smartd init script
---with-initscriptdir auto Location of init scripts
---with-systemdsystemunitdir auto Location of systemd service files
---with-docdir ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools Location of the documentation
---with-exampledir ${docdir}/examplescripts Location of example scripts
---enable-sample --disable-sample Adds the string '.sample' to the names of the smartd.conf file and the smartd RC file
---with-os-deps os_<guessed>.o OS dependent module(s)
---with-selinux --without-selinux Enables SELinux support. If smartmontools has to create the /dev/tw[ae] device
- nodes for 3ware/AMCC controllers, this option ensures that the nodes are created
- with correct SELinux file contexts.
---with-libcap-ng --with-libcap-ng=auto Enables/disables libcap-ng support. If enabled and libcap-ng is
- available, option --capabilities is added to smartd.
---disable-drivedb --enable-drivedb Disables default drive database file '${drivedbdir}/drivedb.h'
---with-drivedbdir ${prefix}/share/smartmontools Directory for 'drivedb.h' (implies --enable-drivedb)
---enable-savestates --disable-savestates Enables default smartd state files '${savestates}MODEL-SERIAL.ata.state'
---with-savestates ${prefix}/var/lib/smartmontools/smartd. Prefix for smartd state files (implies --enable-savestates)
---enable-attributelog --disable-attributelog Enables default smartd attribute log files
---with-attributelog ${prefix}/var/lib/smartmontools/attrlog. Prefix for smartd attribute log files (implies --enable-attributelog)
-
-Please note that in previous versions of smartmontools (<= 5.39) the
-default for --with-docdir was
- ${prefix}/share/doc/smartmontools-VERSION
-This was changed to make it consistent with the default of the
-new --docdir option added in autoconf 2.60.
