Configuring OMR

How to configure Eclipse OMR with custom options

Run the following command to see the full list of command-line options:

./configure --help

The minimum invocation of configure is as follows:

$ ./configure OMRGLUE=./example/glue`

To run configure using both SPEC presets and custom options, add the EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS option to run_configure.mk.

Example: to disable optimizations, run configure like this:

make -f run_configure.mk SPEC=linux_x86-64 OMRGLUE=./example/glue 'EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-optimized' clean all

Example: to disable building FV tests, run configure like this:

make -f run_configure.mk SPEC=linux_x86-64 OMRGLUE=./example/glue 'EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-fvtest' clean all

Note that the clean target of run_configure.mk deletes the header files and makefiles generated by configure. Invoking the clean all targets ensures that the header files and makefiles are regenerated using the custom options.
