Example Use of Configure

An example of use of configure for building QGIS with all options:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/qgis \
    --with-gdal=/usr/local/gdal/bin/gdal-config \
    --with-pg=/usr/local/psql/bin/pg_config \
    --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-5.7.0

This will configure QGIS to use GDAL, GRASS, and PostgreSQL. QGIS will be installed in /usr/local/qgis.

If QTDIR is set and gdal-config and pg_config are both in the PATH, there is no need to use the -with-gdal and -with-pg options. The configure script will properly detect and configure GDAL and PostgreSQL. You must still use the -with-grass option if building with GRASS support.
