+ This page gives a brief description of the different options available when
+ building Qt using the \c configure script or \c configure.exe binary.
+ To build Qt using the default options, just call configure from the command
+ line as shown below.
+
+ When building on Linux, Mac OS X and Unix platforms:
+
+ \c{./configure}
+
+ On Windows, run the corresponding executable:
+
+ \c{.\configure.exe}
+
+ If you would like to customize your build, please use the options listed in
+ the following tables. To see the full list of options, invoke the configure
+ tool with the \c -help command line option.
