0. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (Briefly)

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make verify   # (optional)
$ sudo make install

1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)

To build libevent, type

$ ./configure && make

     (If you got libevent from the git repository, you will
      first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
      generate the configure script.)

You can run the regression tests by running

$ make verify

Install as root via

# make install

Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.

To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:

   CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]

Standard configure flags should work.  In particular, see:

   --disable-shared          Only build static libraries
   --prefix                  Install all files relative to this directory.


The configure script also supports the following flags:

   --enable-gcc-warnings     Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
   --disable-malloc-replacement
                             Don't let applications replace our memory
                             management functions
   --disable-openssl         Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
   --disable-thread-support  Don't support multithreaded environments.
