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.
