#### Basic Configuration Options - the `configure` utility

The following options are for compiling and installing a working version of the NTP distribution. In most cases, the build process is completely automatic. In some cases where memory space is at a premium, or the binaries are to be installed in a different place, it is possible to tailor the configuration to remove such features as reference clock driver support, debugging support, and so forth.

Configuration options are specified as arguments to the `configure` script. Following is a summary of the current options, as of the 4.0.99m version:

Usage: `configure [options] [host]`

#### Options

`[defaults in brackets after descriptions]` Configuration:

     --cache-file=FILE      cache test results in FILE
     --help                 print this message
     --no-create            do not create output files
     --quiet, --silent      do not print `checking...' messages
     --version              print the version of autoconf that created
    configure
