Installation Environment Variables

This chapter describes the various configuration variables that can be set when installing Lire. These can be set using options to ./configure or by setting environment variables.

./configure parameters

--prefix

This option specifies where Lire will be installed.

Defaults to /usr/local.

--bindir

This option specifies where Lire's executables intended for users will be installed.

Defaults to ${prefix}/bin.

--sysconfdir

This option specifies where Lire's configuration files will be installed. (Actually, they will be installed in a subdirectory named lire.)

Defaults to ${prefix}/etc.

--libexecdir

This option specifies where Lire's internal executables and scripts will be installed. (Actually, they will be installed in a subdirectory of this one named lire.)

Defaults to ${prefix}/libexec.

--sharedstatedir

This option specifies where Lire's data files will be installed. (Actually, they will be installed in a subdirectory of this one named lire.)

Defaults to ${prefix}/share.

--mandir

This option specifies where Lire's man pages will be installed.

--with-spooldir

This option specifies the default value of LR_SPOOLDIR which is the spool directory used by the responder (see the section called “Responder Configuration Parameters” for a description of this variable). Unless you're running your own responder this variable is not relevant.

--with-archivedir

When you're archiving your reports and logs using the archive feature (see the section called “The Lire Archive and Temporary Files”) this sets the default value of LR_ARCHIVEDIR (see the section called “General Configuration Parameters” for a description of this variable.)
