user@debian:/mnt/test/usr/src/coreutils-8.31$ ./configure --help
`configure' configures GNU coreutils 8.31 to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help              display this help and exit
      --help=short        display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
  -V, --version           display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print `checking ...' messages
      --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache      alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
  -n, --no-create         do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
  --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]

System types:
  --build=BUILD     configure for building on BUILD [guessed]

  --disable-silent-rules  verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
  --enable-dependency-tracking
                          do not reject slow dependency extractors

  --enable-single-binary=shebangs|symlinks
                          Compile all the tools in a single binary, reducing
                          the overall size. When compiled this way, shebangs
                          (default when enabled) or symlinks are installed for
                          each tool that points to the single binary.
  --enable-single-binary-exceptions=PROG_LIST
                          When used with --enable-single-binary, exclude the
                          PROG_LIST from it, so these programs are compiled as
                          separated files (comma-separated, default none))
  --enable-install-program=PROG_LIST
                          install the programs in PROG_LIST (comma-separated,

  --with-openssl          use libcrypto hash routines. Valid ARGs are: 'yes',
                          'no', 'auto' => use if available, 'optional' => use
                          if available and warn if not available; default is
                          'no'. Note also --with-linux-crypto, which will
                          enable use of kernel crypto routines, which have
                          precedence
  --with-gnu-ld           assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
  --with-libiconv-prefix[=DIR]  search for libiconv in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libiconv-prefix     don't search for libiconv in includedir and libdir
  --with-libpth-prefix[=DIR]  search for libpth in DIR/include and DIR/lib

  --without-included-regex
                          don't compile regex; this is the default on systems
                          with recent-enough versions of the GNU C Library
                          (use with caution on other systems).

  --with-tty-group[=NAME]
                          group used by system for TTYs, "tty" when not
                          specified (default: do not rely on any group used
                          for TTYs)
  --without-gmp           do not use the GNU MP library for arbitrary
                          precision calculation (default: use it if available)
  --with-libintl-prefix[=DIR]  search for libintl in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libintl-prefix     don't search for libintl in includedir and libdir

Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS        libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CPPFLAGS    (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP         C preprocessor
  YACC        The "Yet Another C Compiler" implementation to use. Defaults to
              'bison -o y.tab.c'. Values other than 'bison -o y.tab.c' will
              most likely break on most systems.
  YFLAGS      YFLAGS contains the list arguments that will be passed by
              default to Bison. This script will default YFLAGS to the empty
              string to avoid a default value of '-d' given by some make
              applications.
  DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION
              POSIX version to default to; see 'config.hin'.

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
