* Usual suspects: C compiler, linker, preprocessor, make, ...
+ collectd makes use of some common C99 features, e.g. compound literals and
+ mixed declarations, and therefore requires a C99 compatible compiler.

Since gathering some statistics is slow (network connections, slow devices,
etc) collectd is parallelized. The POSIX threads interface is being
used and should be found in various implementations for hopefully all
platforms.

-Configuring with libjvm
------------------------
-
- To determine the location of the required files of a Java installation is not
- an easy task, because the locations vary with your kernel (Linux, SunOS, …)
- and with your architecture (x86, SPARC, …) and there is no ‘java-config’
- script we could use. Configuration of the JVM library is therefore a bit
- tricky.
-
- The easiest way to use the `--with-java=$JAVA_HOME' option, where
- `$JAVA_HOME' is usually something like:
- /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.14
-
- The configure script will then use find(1) to look for the following files:
-
- - jni.h
- - jni_md.h
- - libjvm.so
-
- If found, appropriate CPP-flags and LD-flags are set and the following
- library checks succeed.
-
- If this doesn't work for you, you have the possibility to specify CPP-flags,
- C-flags, LD-flags and LIBS for the ‘Java’ plugin by hand, using the
- following environment variables:
-
- - JAVA_CPPFLAGS
- - JAVA_CFLAGS
- - JAVA_LDFLAGS
- - JAVA_LIBS
-
- For example (shortened for demonstration purposes):
-
- ./configure JAVA_CPPFLAGS="-I$JAVA_HOME/include -I$JAVA_HOME/include/linux"
-
- Adding "-ljvm" to JAVA_LIBS is done automatically, you don't have to
- do that.
-
Generating the configure script
-------------------------------
- flex
- bison
- libtool
-- libtool-ltdl
- pkg-config
The `build.sh' script takes no arguments.
