1. Where can I get funtools?

    Funtools is available at: http://hea-www.harvard.edu/saord/funtools.

  2. How do I build funtools?

    ./configure --prefix="install_root"	# site-specific configuration
    make			                # build the software
    make install		                # install it
    make clean		                # clean up unneeded temp files
    
  3. What secondary build options might be useful?

    # specify root dir to install funtools executables, libraries, man pages, etc.
    # default is to install in /usr/local
    configure --prefix="install_root"
    
    # create funtools as a shared library
    configure --enable-shared=yes
    
    # create funtools as a shared library and use it to link funtools itself
    configure --enable-shared=link
    
    # gcc: enable support for files larger than 2 Gb
    configure CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
