Building h2load for http2 benchmarking

When I started out to build h2load from source, I thought it should be an easy exercise to do so.

However, I struggled with it quite a bit as I just could not figure out its dependencies properly. There seemed to be way too many dependencies and I was not able to locate any of the packages using the yum install command.

Writing a quick one pager here to just record what worked and hope it is useful to anyone else trying to do so.

I just had to install two packages as shown below:

sudo yum install libev-devel
sudo yum install c-ares-devel

Post this, it was a simple 3 step process as shown below:

./configure --enable-app --prefix=`pwd`/install_dir
make
make install
