   8 Default location for configuration file is /usr/local/etc/bird.conf and

  12 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --runstatedir=/run

  14 To compile current development BIRD source code from Git repository, you
  15 also need Git (to download the source code) and Autoconf (to generate
  16 the configure script and associated files using 'autoreconf' tool):
  17
  18 $ git clone https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/bird/
  19 $ cd bird
  20 $ autoreconf
