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> 36<hr> 37 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="scripts/footer.txt"></script> 38 </body> 39 40</html> 41
