0. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (Briefly)

$ ./configure $ make $ make verify # (optional) $ sudo make install

1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)

To build libevent, type

$ ./configure && make

 (If you got libevent from the git repository, you will
  first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
  generate the configure script.)

Install as root via

make install

You can run the regression tests by running

$ make verify

Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.

To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:

CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]

Standard configure flags should work. In particular, see:

--disable-shared Only build static libraries --prefix Install all files relative to this directory.

The configure script also supports the following flags:

--enable-gcc-warnings Enable extra compiler checking with GCC. --disable-malloc-replacement Don't let applications replace our memory management functions --disable-openssl Disable support for OpenSSL encryption. --disable-thread-support Don't support multithreaded environments.
