`configure' configures Squid Web Proxy 3.5.4 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 sou
rces in DIR [configure dir or `..']
Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local/squid]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/squid/bin', `/usr/local/squid/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local/squid' 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]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]

Optional Features:
--disable-option-checking ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--enable-silent-rules less verbose build output (undo: "make V=1")
--disable-silent-rules verbose build output (undo: "make V=0")
--enable-maintainer-mode
enable make rules and dependencies not useful (and
sometimes confusing) to the casual installer
--enable-dependency-tracking
do not reject slow dependency extractors
--disable-dependency-tracking
speeds up one-time build
--disable-arch-native Some compilers offer CPU-specific optimizations with
the -march=native parameter. This flag disables the
optimization. The default is to auto-detect compiler
support and use where available.
--disable-strict-error-checking
By default squid is compiled with all possible
static compiler error-checks enabled. This flag
disables the behavior
--disable-loadable-modules
do not support loadable modules
--enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes]
--enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=yes]
--enable-fast-install[=PKGS]
optimize for fast installation [default=yes]
--disable-libtool-lock avoid locking (might break parallel builds)
--enable-ltdl-install install libltdl
--enable-build-info="build info string"
Add an additional string in the output of "squid
-v". Default is not to add anything. If the string
is not specified, tries to determine nick and
revision number of the current bazaar branch
--disable-optimizations Do not compile Squid with compiler optimizations
enabled. Optimization is good for production builds,
but not good for debugging. During development, use
--disable-optimizations to reduce compilation times
and allow easier debugging. This option implies
--disable-inline
--disable-inline Do not compile trivial methods as inline. Squid is
coded with much of the code able to be inlined.
Inlining is good for production builds, but not good
for development. During development, use
--disable-inline to reduce compilation times and
allow incremental builds to be quick. For production
builds, or load tests, use --enable-inline to have
squid make all trivial methods inlinable by the
compiler.
--enable-debug-cbdata Provide some debug information in cbdata
--enable-xmalloc-statistics
Show malloc statistics in status page
--enable-disk-io="list of modules"

hackers only.
--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for
Enable support for following the X-Forwarded-For
HTTP header to try to find the IP address of the
original or indirect client when a request has been
forwarded through other proxies.
--disable-ident-lookups Remove code that supports performing Ident (RFC 931)
lookups.
--enable-ssl-crtd Prevent Squid from directly generation of SSL
private key and certificate request and instead
enables the ssl_crtd processes.

power is spent by squid, by enabling specific probes
in selected functions. New probes can only be added
by modifying the source code. It is meant to help
developers in optimizing performance of Squid
internal functions. If you are not developer you
should not enable this, as it slows squid down
somewhat. See lib/Profiler.c for more details.
--enable-x-accelerator-vary
Enable support for the X-Accelerator-Vary HTTP
header. Can be used to indicate variance within an
accelerator setup. Typically used together with
other code that adds custom HTTP headers to the
requests.

capabilities on startup.
--enable-zph-qos Enable ZPH QOS support
--enable-gnuregex Compile GNUregex. Unless you have reason to use this
option, you should not enable it. This library file
is usually only required on Windows and very old
