6 Building and Installation
7 -------------------------
8

10
11 ./configure
12 make
13
14 Then install as root;
15
16 make install
17
18 You may which to use one of the following configure options to change
19 aspects of this process;
20
21 --with-pid-file=FILE
22 --with-max-udp-size=SIZE
23
24 The first allows you to specify the location of the PID file. The second
25 allows you to specify the maximum UDP packet size, although you shouldn't
26 need to change this in normal circumstances.
27
28 There are, of course, the usual GNU-style configure options;
29
30 --prefix=PREFIX

40 manager. These details should be given on the command line to ihost.
