The -I switch is used
to list include-file directories on the command-line. When used with
-L (-L), for example, it
can select an experimental version of BIND:
% ./Build -I/src/bind/8.8.1x5/include -L/src/bind/8.8.1x5/lib
The value specified with this -I switch is
appended to whatever values are specified in your
m4 build file with
confINCDIRS (confINCDIRS), and to
whatever values might be preset as defaults in your
devtools/OS file. The final, assembled value is
made a part of your configuration file, and is also made the value of
the INCDIRS= directive in your Makefile.
Multiple -I switches can be used to specify a
series of include directories. For example:
% ./Build -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/tools/include
In general, include-file directories should be listed with the
confINCDIRS m4 directive
(confINCDIRS) in your m4 build
file, instead of on the command line.
