21abb0f93cSkardel		<p>Most modern software distributions include an autoconfigure utility which
22abb0f93cSkardel			customizes the build and install configuration according to the specific
23abb0f93cSkardel			hardware, operating system and file system conventions. For NTP this
24abb0f93cSkardel			utility is called <tt>configure</tt>, which is run before building and installing
25abb0f93cSkardel			the program components. For most installations no additional actions
26abb0f93cSkardel			are required other than running <tt>configure</tt> with no options.
27abb0f93cSkardel			However, it is possible to customize the build and install configuration
28abb0f93cSkardel			through the use of <tt>configure</tt> options.</p>
29abb0f93cSkardel		<p>The available options, together with
30abb0f93cSkardel			a concise description, can be displayed by running  <tt>configure</tt>		 	with
31abb0f93cSkardel			the <tt>--help</tt> option. Various options can be used to reduce the memory
32abb0f93cSkardel			footprint, adjust the scheduling priority, enable or disable debugging
33abb0f93cSkardel			support or reference clock driver support. The options can be used
34abb0f93cSkardel			to specify where to install the program components or where to find
35abb0f93cSkardel			various libraries if they are not in the default place.</p>
