The Hardware Abstraction Layer is a software tool that provides a bridge between hardware components and the operating system. It simplifies accessing the hardware by abstracting the complexity of different hardware devices and allows software to operate across different platforms.
When running `configure', you may notice several messages that display the various features that are being checked. Once you have completed this step, type `make' to compile the package followed by the `make check' command to run any self-tests included with the package. Finally, to install the program and its associated data files and documentation, you will need to run `make install.'
If you want to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, type `make clean.' If you wish to remove the files that `configure' created, which will enable you to compile the package for a different type of computer, type `make distclean.' Finally, there's also a `make maintainer-clean' target, which is primarily intended for developers of the package. If you use this target, you may need to obtain other programs to regenerate the files that were included as part of the package's distribution.
In conclusion, HAL is an incredibly versatile hardware abstraction layer with an intuitive installation process that you can easily navigate through by following the step-by-step instructions.
