 In the following sections, we'll explore Hawk's features in detail, covering its embeddable nature, awk compatibility, extensions, and usage examples to help you effectively integrate and leverage this powerful scripting engine within your applications.
 
+# Building Hawk From Source Code

+```sh
+$ ./configure ## This step offers various build options
