3Varnish uses the GNU autotools.  To build and install Varnish, simply
4run the 'configure' script in the top-level directory, then run 'make'
5and 'make install'.  On Linux, you need to run 'ldconfig' as root
6afterwards in order to update the shared library cache.

8If you obtained the sources directly from the Subversion repository,
9you will need to run autogen.sh first to create the configure script.

11Varnish will store run-time state in $localstatedir/varnish; you may
12want to tune this using configure's --localstatedir parameter.

14Additional configure options of interest:
15
16  --enable-developer-warnings
