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"
