Basic Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To do a basic build and install: $ ./configure $ make And as root $ make install This should leave the executable "hammerhead" in /usr/local/bin. Normally when running hammerhead it expects a configuration file in /etc/hammerhead/hh.conf (by default). You may provide an argument as an alternative configuration file. ie. hammerhead test.conf Pthreads ~~~~~~~~ You can compile Hammerhead to use pthreads instead of multiple process: $ ./configure --with-pthreads=yes $ make And as root $ make install Pthreads seem to be less efficient (in general) than multiple processes (for Hammerhead). This is certainly the case for multiple CPU machines. Sorry this is rather brief documentation, it needs improving. 28/6/2001. Geoff
