A Configure script is an executable script designed to aid in developing a program to be run on a wide number of different computers. It matches the libraries on the user's computer, with those required by the program, just before compiling it from its source code.
As a common practice, all configure scripts are named "configure". Usually, configure scripts are written in Bash syntax, but they may be written for execution in any desired shell.

Famous quotes containing the word script:
“I long to create something
that can’t be used to keep us passive:
I want to write
a script about plumbing, how every pipe
is joined
to every other.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
