21258945Sroberto		<p>Most modern software distributions include an autoconfigure utility which
22258945Sroberto			customizes the build and install configuration according to the specific
23258945Sroberto			hardware, operating system and file system conventions. For NTP this
24258945Sroberto			utility is called <tt>configure</tt>, which is run before building and installing
25258945Sroberto			the program components. For most installations no additional actions
26258945Sroberto			are required other than running <tt>configure</tt> with no options.
27258945Sroberto			However, it is possible to customize the build and install configuration
28258945Sroberto			through the use of <tt>configure</tt> options.</p>
29258945Sroberto		<p>The available options, together with
30258945Sroberto			a concise description, can be displayed by running  <tt>configure</tt>		 	with
31258945Sroberto			the <tt>--help</tt> option. Various options can be used to reduce the memory
32258945Sroberto			footprint, adjust the scheduling priority, enable or disable debugging
33258945Sroberto			support or reference clock driver support. The options can be used
34258945Sroberto			to specify where to install the program components or where to find
35258945Sroberto			various libraries if they are not in the default place.</p>
