Compile package with linux command line
Hi everyone, welcome to today’s tutorial where we will learn how to compile a package at linux command line.
1. at command line, type:
make
note:
make tool reads all makefiles created by configure script, which tells make which files to compile and the order of the compilation
if compile is done properly, then there should be NO error message
even if there is an error message, the error is normally not due to the program, but possibly to do with incorrect configuration of your systems
many error messages are due to incorrect file permissions (can use chmod command to change file permissions) or missing files (you may need to set you path environment variable properly)
to view current value of your path environment variable, you can type:
echo $PATH
note:
your path should at least include /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, /usr/X11R6/bin
