I'm going to build with arTs as the audio engine - I assume that I can
reconfigure and make later if I get the recommended audio engines working,

Here's the configure --help output.

`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help display this help and exit
      --help=short display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive display the short help of all the included
packages
  -V, --version display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
      --cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
  -n, --no-create do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [the kde prefix]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`the kde prefix/bin', `the kde prefix/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `the kde prefix' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
  --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
  --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
  --libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
  --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data
[PREFIX/share]
  --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
  --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data
[PREFIX/com]
  --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
  --libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
  --includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
  --oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
  --infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
  --mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]

Program names:
  --program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program
names
  --program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program
names
  --program-transform-name=PROGRAM run sed PROGRAM on installed program
names

System types:
  --build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
  --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
  --target=TARGET configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]

Optional Features:
  --disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as
--enable-FEATURE=no)
  --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
  --disable-fast-perl disable fast Makefile generation (needs perl)
  --enable-debug=ARG enables debug symbols (yes|no|full) default=no
  --disable-debug disables debug output and debug symbols default=no
  --enable-strict compiles with strict compiler options (may not
                          work!)
  --disable-warnings disables compilation with -Wall and similar
  --enable-profile creates profiling infos default=no
  --disable-dependency-tracking Speeds up one-time builds
  --enable-dependency-tracking Do not reject slow dependency extractors
  --enable-pch enables precompiled header support (currently only
                          KCC or gcc >=3.4+unsermake) default=no
  --enable-coverage use gcc coverage testing
  --enable-new-ldflags enable the new linker flags
  --enable-final build size optimized apps (experimental - needs
lots
                          of memory)
  --enable-closure delay template instantiation
  --enable-nmcheck enable automatic namespace cleanness check
  --enable-shared[=PKGS]
                          build shared libraries [default=yes]
  --enable-static[=PKGS]
                          build static libraries [default=no]
  --enable-libsuffix /lib directory suffix (64,32,none=default)
  --enable-fast-install[=PKGS]
                          optimize for fast installation [default=yes]
  --disable-libtool-lock avoid locking (might break parallel builds)
  --enable-embedded link to Qt-embedded, don't use X
  --enable-qtopia link to Qt-embedded, link to the Qtopia
Environment
  --enable-mac link to Qt/Mac (don't use X)
  --disable-mt link to non-threaded Qt (deprecated)
  --disable-threading disables threading even if libpthread found
  --disable-rpath do not use the rpath feature of ld
  --disable-path-check don't try to find out, where to install
  --enable-mysql build amaroK with MySql support default=disabled
  --disable-amazon disable Amazon cover download support
                          default=enable

Optional Packages:
  --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
  --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
  --with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
  --with-pic try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use
                          both]
  --with-tags[=TAGS]
                          include additional configurations [automatic]
  --with-extra-includes=DIR
                          adds non standard include paths
  --with-extra-libs=DIR adds non standard library paths
  --with-qt-dir=DIR where the root of Qt is installed
  --with-qt-includes=DIR where the Qt includes are.
  --with-qt-libraries=DIR where the Qt library is installed.
  --without-arts build without aRts default=no
  --without-gstreamer build amaroK without GStreamer default=with
  --without-xine build amaroK without xine default=with
  --with-nmm build amaroK with NMM support default=without
  --with-nmm-dir path to the NMM default=/usr/local
  --with-mas build amaroK with MAS support default=without
  --without-opengl build amaroK without OpenGL default=with
  --without-included-sqlite
                          don't use the included sqlite sources default=with

Some influential environment variables:
  CC C compiler command
  CFLAGS C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
              headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP C preprocessor
  CXX C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags
  CXXCPP C++ preprocessor
  F77 Fortran 77 compiler command
  FFLAGS Fortran 77 compiler flags
  PKGCONFIGFOUND
              Path to pkg-config

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
