--with-ssl: This switch
enables SSL support using OpenSSL.
GnuTLS can be used instead, by
passing --with-ssl=gnutls and
--with-ca-bundle=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
to the configure
script.
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--with-libproxy: This switch enables
support for using libproxy to retrieve proxy server information.
Use this switch if you have libproxy-0.5.12 installed and wish to use it.
