Yes. You can add them on the ./configure command line. First to
determine what flags are available run ./configure --help to get a
listing. In that output you will see something similar to this which
I trimmed from another project.
Some influential environment variables:
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++/Objective C preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
So probably what you want is something similar to this:
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I /sw" LDFLAGS="-L /sw"
The installation is controlled by by --prefix and /usr/local is the
default. To install in /usr/local you don't need to do anything
special and just use the default.
