configure
- Configuring allows system specific flags to be assigned
- Configure gives you flexibility, and a quick and easy way to change all the important make files
- Configure settings can be overridden by environment variables
- configure + Makefile.in ? Makefile + config.status
- Once the system has been configured you can either make the source code or install the binary files.
- A log of the configure settings are in config.status .
- More than one configure is run by $CCP4/configure
(UNIX variants only, when making from source code)
