There are several +additional configure options you can use to turn off IPv6 support, to +disable the compilation of specific daemons, and to enable SNMP support. + +@table @option +@item --enable-guile +Turn on compilation of the zebra-guile interpreter. You will need the +guile library to make this. zebra-guile implementation is not yet +finished. So this option is only useful for zebra-guile developers. +@item --disable-ipv6 +Turn off IPv6 related features and daemons. Zebra configure script +automatically detects IPv6 stack. But sometimes you might want to +disable IPv6 support of Zebra. +@item --disable-zebra +Do not build zebra daemon. +@item --disable-ripd +Do not build ripd. +@item --disable-ripngd +Do not build ripngd. +@item --disable-ospfd +Do not build ospfd. +@item --disable-ospf6d +Do not build ospf6d. +@item --disable-bgpd +Do not build bgpd. +@item --disable-bgp-announce +Make @command{bgpd} which does not make bgp announcements at all. This +feature is good for using @command{bgpd} as a BGP announcement listener. +@item --enable-netlink +Force to enable @sc{gnu}/Linux netlink interface. Zebra configure +script detects netlink interface by checking a header file. When the header +file does not match to the current running kernel, configure script will +not turn on netlink support. +@item --enable-snmp +Enable SNMP support. By default, SNMP support is disabled. +@end table + +You may specify any combination of the above options to the configure +script. By default, the executables are placed in @file{/usr/local/sbin} +and the configuration files in @file{/usr/local/etc}. The @file{/usr/local/} +installation prefix and other directories may be changed using the following +options to the configuration script. + +@table @option +@item --prefix=@var{prefix} +Install architecture-independent files in @var{prefix} [/usr/local]. +@item --sysconfdir=@var{dir} +Read-only sample configuration file in @var{dir} [@var{prefix}/etc]. +@end table + +@example +% ./configure --disable-ipv6 +@end example + +This command will configure zebra and the routing daemons. + +@cindex Configuring Zebra +@cindex Configuration the software build +@cindex Building on Linux boxes +@cindex Linux configurations + +There are several options available only to @sc{gnu}/Linux systems: +@footnote{GNU/Linux has very flexible kernel configuration features.

If you +specify this option, @command{zebra} can detect routing information +updates directly from the kernel (@pxref{Kernel Interface}). + +@item CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST +IP: multicasting. +This option should be specified when you use @command{ripd} or +@command{ospfd} because these protocols use multicast. + +@end table + +IPv6 support has been added in @sc{gnu}/Linux kernel version 2.2. If you +try to use the Zebra IPv6 feature on a @sc{gnu}/Linux kernel, please +make sure the following libraries have been installed.

The @code{inet-apps} can be found at +@url{ftp://ftp.inner.net/pub/ipv6/}. + +@item net-tools +The @code{net-tools} package provides an IPv6 enabled interface and +routing utility.
