Configure and compile ISA-L under lib/isa-l-2.14.0/,

./configure --prefix=$(pwd)
make install

If you encounter the error "Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined",

1. Add AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) to configure.ac
2. Add libtool support: $ libtoolize
3. Continue to install: $ ./configure --prefix=$(pwd); make install

The system uses Jerasure for coding by default (for RS and CRS), set USE_ISAL in Makefile to 1 to use ISA-L instead

USE_ISAL= 1
