Performance of the SMP runtime system will however suffer immensely without an implementation for native atomic memory accesses. +* `--enable-static-{nifs,drivers}` - To allow usage of nifs and drivers on OSs + that do not support dynamic linking of libraries it is possible to statically + link nifs and drivers with the main Erlang VM binary. This is done by passing + a comma seperated list to the archives that you want to statically link. e.g. + `--enable-static-nifs=/home/$USER/my_nif.a`. The path has to be absolute and the + name of the archive has to be the same as the module, i.e. `my_nif` in the + example above. This is also true for drivers, but then it is the driver name + that has to be the same as the filename. You also have to define + `STATIC_ERLANG_{NIF,DRIVER}` when compiling the .o files for the nif/driver. + If your nif/driver depends on some other dynamic library, you now have to link + that to the Erlang VM binary. This is easily achived by passing `LIBS=-llibname` + to configure. * `--without-$app` - By default all applications in Erlang/OTP will be included in a release. If this is not wanted it is possible to specify that Erlang/OTP should be compiled without that applications, i.e. `--without-wx`. There is no automatic dependency handling inbetween applications. So if you disable an application that another depends on, you also have to disable the dependant application. +* `--enable-dirty-schedulers` - Enable the **experimental** dirty schedulers + functionality. Note that the dirty schedulers functionality is experimental, + and **not supported**. This functionality **will** be subject to backward + incompatible changes.
