Hello, this is my paragraph.

7.1. Running Configure Script

Before compiling plex86, you must use the supplied configure script to configure the source code for your system and desired options. Ideally, you can just type:


      user:~> cd plex86
      user:plex86> ./configure
    
Below is a list of options you can pass to the configure script, if you need to compile with non-default values. As with any GNU autoconf generated script, you can always see a current list of available options by typing:

      user:plex86> ./configure --help
    
in case this manual is out of date.

Table 7-1. Configuration Options

OptionPurpose
--with-xuse the X Window System (default)
--enable-cosimulationEnable support for cosimulating with another simulation/emulation/virtualization package. (not currently supported)
--with-linux-source=dirCompile with specific Linux kernel source. It is possible to compile against a different Linux kernel version than your system's default version. In this case, you have to specify the path to the toplevel source directory. Remember, when you invoke plex86, you must be running the version of the Linux kernel you compiled against!
--with-gui=[x,curses,sdl]Select which GUI to support (x is default)
