Configure package with linux command line
Hi everyone, welcome to today’s tutorial where we will learn how to configure a package at linux command line, to prepare to read documentation with linux command line.
1. at command line, type:
./configure
note:
most packages have a autoconfiguration file, usually called configure
to see options of a configure, you can type:
./configure –help
to set base dir, eg. /usr/local, where package will be installed:
./configure –prefix /usr/local
note:
by default, packages are installed at /usr/local
you can use the –prefix option to set another base directory other than the default of /usr/local
if you run configure properly, and it completes without error, you should have a makefile (which is then used to actually compile the program)
