If you want to get started developing Pthread Pool, you can do the following:

Make sure you have autoconf, libtool and a C compiler/toolchain installed. On my Ubuntu I just had to do 'apt-get install libtool autoconf build-essential'.

Run './autogen.sh' from the source directory.
Run the usual './configure && make && make install' (though I normally './configure --prefix=pwd-install').
