Default Compiling
Written by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on 9:03 PMJust in case you're downloading a program in tarball and gzipped. Why would we want to download the source? First of all, it can be more flexible for those who are familiar with source code. And, with source code on hands, we can customize the installation eg: Put the installation directory in some other place, make the flag and tell the program about hardware we use and also because of the nature of the linux community, virtually all of the software available for it is available in source code format. Most of it is in Tar-Gzipped Form.
In order to install software, simply follow these steps:
1) type `tar -xvzf FILENAME' (It should expand into a directory of the same name)
2) Go into that directory
3) type `./configure' (A script will execute that will check your system and prepare to compile)
4) type `make' (Begin compiling)
5) type `make install' (Installs the files in the correct place)
And that's it! You have a fresh new installed piece of software ready to go.
