The instructions in this section assume +that the source distribution has already been unpacked. + +Prerequisites +------------- + +iperf3 requires few (if any) dependencies on common operating +systems. The only known prerequisites are listed here. + +Building +-------- + +In many cases, iperf3 can be built and installed as follows: + +``./configure && make && make install`` + +In some cases, configuration might fail. If this happens, it might +help to run ``./bootstrap.sh`` first from the top-level directory. + +By default, the ``libiperf`` library is built in both shared and +static forms. Either can be suppressed by using the +``--disabled-shared`` or ``--disable-static`` configure-time options. |
