For NTP this 23 utility is called <tt>configure</tt>, which is run before building and installing 24 the program components. For most installations no additional actions 25 are required other than running <tt>configure</tt> with no options. 26 However, it is possible to customize the build and install configuration 27 through the use of <tt>configure</tt> options.</p> 28 <p>The available options, together with 29 a concise description, can be displayed by running <tt>configure</tt> with 30 the <tt>--help</tt> option. Various options can be used to reduce the memory 31 footprint, adjust the scheduling priority, enable or disable debugging 32 support or reference clock driver support. The options can be used 33 to specify where to install the program components or where to find 34 various libraries if they are not in the default place.</p> 35<hr> 36 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="scripts/footer.txt"></script> 37 </body> 38 39</html>
