Hi, I'm new to linux and I think the ability to compile sources would be a good skill to have. Can anyone write a tutorial on the strategies they use to compile sources? I find I download a source of something and it has over 15 header files and a few .cpp files and I have no idea how to compile it. And could this tutorial be written specifically for GCC in terms of how to do all the linking and so forth? I couldn't thank you enough if you decided to write a tutorial on this. Thanks. |

How would you know what the "various options" are? |

They'd have to be mentioned in the INSTALL or README file, since each program will have different compile-time options. However, most of the time you don't need any of those fancy options, the defaults are just fine. |
