Copyright (c) 2012 Moinak Ghosh Basic Installation ================== The simplest process to build and install this utility is: ./config make make install Strictly speaking the 'make install' step is not required to run the utility as it is a single stand alone program for now. The config script controls various compile time parameters and generates the actual Makefile. You can get a short description of all the options by running: ./config --help A more descriptive account is given below: ./config [] can be one of the following: --prefix= The installation prefix. This is set to /usr by default. However alternate prefix needs to eb used during packaging. --enable-debug Enable debug mode compilation. This reduces the compiler optimization level to basic and taks out all the loop optimization flags. This is primary to aid debugging. --disable-allocator Disable use of internal memory allocator mechanism. The internal allocator can be totally disabled by setting this build time flag. It is also possible to dynamically disable the allocator by setting the following env variable: ALLOCATOR_BYPASS=1 --enable-debug-stats Enable printing of some verbose debug info. This at present shows some info related to Dedupe efficiency. --help Display the help message.
