  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>
