15 <p>Gnu autoconfigure tools are in the backpack.</p>

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