configure

Summary

configure'' runs ./configure (or equivalent build-system script) and passes --prefix=$ZPFX by default. It is the high-level companion to make'' for source compilation workflows.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice configure          # runs ./configure --prefix=$ZPFX
zi ice configure"!"       # runs before make'!' (earlier ordering)
zi ice configure"#"       # also runs ./autogen.sh first

Details

configure'' automatically passes --prefix=$ZPFX to ./configure. When no configure script exists but other build-system files are present, it detects and invokes the appropriate tool. Currently supported build systems (checked in order): configure, CMake, scons, meson.

Ordering relative to make'':

• Default (configure): runs before make'' and after make'!'.
• configure'!': runs before make'!' and after make'!!'.

The # modifier additionally executes ./autogen.sh before ./configure.

$ZPFX defaults to ~/.local/share/zinit/polaris; $ZPFX/bin is automatically prepended to $PATH.

Examples

# Compile and install universal-ctags
zi ice configure make
zi light universal-ctags/ctags

# Full source build: autogen, configure, make install
zi ice configure"#" make"install"
zi light some/autotools-project
