    <h2><a name="compiling">Compiling a release tarball</a></h2>

    <p>
      libvirt-php is using the standard configure/make/make install steps:
    </p>

    <pre>
      $ gunzip -c libvirt-php-x.x.x.tar.gz | tar xvf -
      $ cd libvirt-php-x.x.x
      $ ./configure</pre>

    <p>
      The <i>configure</i> script can be given options to change its default
      behaviour.
    </p>

    <p>
      To get the complete list of the options it can take, pass it the
      <i>--help</i> option like this:
    </p>

    <pre>
      $ ./configure <i>--help</i></pre>

    <p>
      When you have determined which options you want to use (if any),
      continue the process.
    </p>

    <p>
      Note the use of <b>sudo</b> with the <i>make install</i> command
      below.  Using sudo is only required when installing to a location your
      user does not have write access to.  Installing to a system location
      is a good example of this.
    </p>

    <p>
      If you are installing to a location that your user <i>does</i> have write
      access to, then you can instead run the <i>make install</i> command
      without putting <b>sudo</b> before it.
    </p>

    <pre>
      $ ./configure <i>[possible options]</i>
      $ make
      $ <b>sudo</b> <i>make install</i></pre>

    <p>
     By this command you'll have the libvirt-php installed on your system.
    </p>

    <h2><a name="building">Building from a GIT checkout</a></h2>

    <p>
      The libvirt-php build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a
      checkout it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in
      templates using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command, passing the extra
      arguments as for configure. As an example, to do a complete build and
      install it into your home directory run:
    </p>

    <pre>
      $ ./autogen.sh
      $ make
      $ <b>sudo</b> make install</pre>
  </body>
