How to install thttpd web server?

[MintRulez]

I have managed to download and unpack thttpd-2.27 from http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/thttpd-2.27.tar.gz
How to install it?
OS: Linux Mint 17.3 64bit On VirtualBox
Desktop Environment: Cinnamon

[MintRulez]

I read that I should execute these commands:
./configure
make
make install
But when I execute first one, I have an error:
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
This is the part of the file(configure) which gives me the error message:

Code: Select all

host_alias=$host
case "$host_alias" in
NONE)
  case $nonopt in
  NONE)
    if host_alias=`${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_config_guess`; then :
    else { echo "configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one" 1>&2; exit 1; }
    fi ;;
  *) host_alias=$nonopt ;;
  esac ;;
esac

May somebody help me out with this?
