206.1. Make and install programs from source

206.1 Make and install programs from source

Weight: 2

Description: Candidates should be able to build and install an executable program from source. This objective includes being able to unpack a file of sources.

Key Knowledge Areas:

  • Unpack source code using common compression and archive utilities

  • Understand basics of invoking make to compile programs

  • Apply parameters to a configure script

  • Know where sources are stored by default

Terms and Utilities:

  • /usr/src/

  • gunzip

  • gzip

  • bzip2

  • xz

  • tar

  • configure

  • make

  • uname

  • install

  • patch

Make and install programs from source

As you know any modern linux distribution has its own repository, where we can easily search for a program , get info and install from it. Although installing a program from repository is easy and make kind of security, but it limits that program source to a specific distribution. So many developers prefer to publish a program source code it self, and let other people to configure and compile it base on their distribution and needs.

3 basic steps to install a program from source code are:

before beginning We need to install some developers tool. in redhat useyum groupinstall "Development Tools" and in debian based and ubuntu run apt-get install build-essentia :

root@server1:~# apt install build-essential 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
build-essential is already the newest version (12.1ubuntu2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 172 not upgraded.

For demonstration lets have fun and mine bitcoin with cpuminer. First download the source:

Before being able to compile our source code, we need to prepare all its requirements and dependencies. To do that use configure command. The configure command is NOT a standard Linux command. configure is a script that is generally provided with the source of most standardized type Linux packages.

Well obviously it needs libcurl, but if we have had read README file it was mentioned there:

Dependencies:
        libcurl                 http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
        jansson                 http://www.digip.org/jansson/
                (jansson is included in-tree)

so its recommended to read README file, any how lets try to search and install libcurl:

root@server1:~/cpuminer/cpuminer-2.5.0# apt search libcurl
