-The software is distributed as source code which has to be compiled.
-
-PARTS OF THE SOFTWARE ARE HIGHLY SYSTEM-SPECIFIC AND NON-PORTABLE.
-UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING A SUPPORTED SYSTEM, BE PREPARED FOR SOME
-PROGRAMMING!
-
-After unpacking the source code, change directory into it, and type
-
- ./configure
-
-This is a shell script that automatically determines the system type.
-There is a single optional parameter, --prefix which indicates the
-directory tree where the software should be installed. For example,
-
- ./configure --prefix=/opt/free
-
-will install the chronyd daemon into /opt/free/sbin and the chronyc
-control program into /opt/free/bin. The default value for the prefix
-is /usr/local.
-
-The configure script assumes you want to use gcc as your compiler.
-If you want to use a different compiler, you can configure this way:
-
- CC=cc CFLAGS=-O ./configure --prefix=/opt/free
-
-for Bourne-family shells, or
-
- setenv CC cc
- setenv CFLAGS -O
- ./configure --prefix=/opt/free
-
-for C-family shells.
-
-If the software cannot (yet) be built on your system, an error message
-will be shown. Otherwise, `Makefile' will be generated.
-
-If editline or readline library is available, chronyc will be built
-with line editing support. If you don't want this, specify the
---disable-readline flag to configure. Please refer to the chrony.txt
-file for more information.
-
-If a 'timepps.h' header is available (e.g. from the LinuxPPS project
-(http://linuxpps.org/)), chronyd will be built with PPS API reference
-clock driver. If the header is installed in a location that isn't
-normally searched by the compiler, you can add it to the searched
-locations by setting 'CPPFLAGS' variable to '-I/path/to/timepps'.
-
-Now type
-
- make
-
-to build the programs.
-
-If you want to build the manual in plain text, HTML and info versions, type
-
- make docs
-
-Once the programs have been successfully compiled, they need to be
-installed in their target locations. This step normally needs to be
-performed by the superuser, and requires the following command to be
-entered.
-
- make install
-
-This will install the binaries, plain text manual and manpages.
-
-To install the HTML and info versions of the manual as well, enter the command
-
- make install-docs
-
-If you want chrony to appear in the top level info directory listing, you need
-to run the install-info command manually after this step. install-info takes 2
-arguments. The first is the path to the chrony.info file you have just
-installed. This will be the argument you gave to --prefix when you configured
-(/usr/local by default), with /share/info/chrony.info on the end. The second
-argument is the location of the file called 'dir'. This will typically be
-/usr/share/info/dir. So the typical command line would be
-
- install-info /usr/local/share/info/chrony.info /usr/share/info/dir
-
-Now that the software is successfully installed, the next step is to
-set up a configuration file. The contents of this depend on the
-network environment in which the computer operates. Typical scenarios
-are described in the manual. The simplest case is for a computer with
-a permanent Internet connection - suppose you want to use public NTP
-servers from the pool.ntp.org project as your time reference. You would
-create an /etc/chrony.conf file containing
-
- server 0.pool.ntp.org
- server 1.pool.ntp.org
- server 2.pool.ntp.org
- driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift
-
-and then run /usr/local/sbin/chronyd.
