Specific installation instructions
==================================

In addition to what is described in the INSTALL file, the following
specifics apply to the tftp-hpa package:

The tftp-hpa package supports the following options to ./configure:

  --without-tcpwrappers
	Disables the use of the tcp wrapper library.  This is
	recommended, for performance reasons, on high-use sites.
	Kernel-based firewalling is, in general, a better alternative.

  --without-remap
	Disables the use of regular-expression-based filename
	remapping (the -m option to tftpd).

  --without-readline
	Disables the use of the readline command-line editing library
	in the tftp client.

The default prefix for the tftp-hpa package is /usr, with the tftp
client installing as /usr/bin/tftp and the tftpd server installing as
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd on most systems.  This can be overridden by setting
--bindir and --sbindir.

"make install" supports specifying an INSTALLROOT, which points to
what will be the root of the filesystem at runtime; this is typically
used when preparing packages for package-management systems.

You almost certainly will need GNU make to build tftp-hpa.  If you
don't already have it, you can find GNU make at:

    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/make/
or
    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/make/
