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