#### Documentation
Run `make doc` in the build directory after editing the asciidoc files to regenerate the manpages.<br />
**NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS**: asciidoc files and generated manpages will need to be commited together.<br />
**NOTE FOR EVERYONE**: [asciidoc](http://asciidoc.org/index.html) (and this step) is only required for regenerating manpages when you modify them.

## Notes
#### Compilation variables
* You can add specific flags to the Makefile with `USER_CFLAGS=""` and `USER_LDFLAGS=""` passed as the arguments to make or as environment variables
* You can use CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables to add specific flags to the Makefile
* Additional features are automatically enabled if all dependencies are found, but you can disable them by using special variables:
* `DISABLE_X11=1` → build toxic without X11 support (needed for focus tracking)
* `DISABLE_AV=1` → build toxic without audio call support
* `DISABLE_SOUND_NOTIFY=1` → build toxic without sound notifications support
* `DISABLE_DESKTOP_NOTIFY=1` → build toxic without desktop notifications support
* Features excluded from the default build must be explicitly enabled using special variables:
* `ENABLE_PYTHON=1` → build toxic with Python scripting support
* You can add specific flags to the Makefile with `USER_CFLAGS=""` and `USER_LDFLAGS=""` passed as arguments to make, or as environment variables
* Default compile options can be overridden by using special variables:
* `DISABLE_X11=1` → Disable X11 support (needed for focus tracking)
* `DISABLE_AV=1` → Disable audio call support
* `DISABLE_SOUND_NOTIFY=1` → Disable sound notifications support
* `DISABLE_DESKTOP_NOTIFY=1` → Disable desktop notifications support
* `ENABLE_PYTHON=1` → Build toxic with Python scripting support
#### Packaging
* For packaging purpose, you can use `DESTDIR=""` to specify a directory where to store installed files
* `DESTDIR=""` can be used in addition to `PREFIX=""`:
* `DESTDIR=""` is meant to specify a directory where to store installed files (ex: "/tmp/build/pkg")
* `PREFIX=""` is meant to specify a prefix directory for binaries and data files (ex: "/usr/local")
* `DESTDIR=""` Specifies the base install directory for binaries and data files (e.g.: DESTDIR="/tmp/build/pkg")
#### Environment variables
* You can use the `CFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS` environment variables to add specific flags to the Makefile
* The `PREFIX` environment variable specifies a base install directory for binaries and data files. This is interchangeable with the `DESTDIR` variable, and is generally used by systems that have the `PREFIX` environment variable set by default.<br />
**Note**: `sudo` does not preserve user environment variables by default on some systems. See the `sudoers` manual for more information.
