Installing from source under Unix
Generic information to compile and install programs from sourcecode on Unix systems.
(Also see Perl module installation notes.)
Generic installation
- 1. download the source-archive
- 2. unzip and untar the file
- 3. cd to the newly created directory
- 4. type configure
- 5. type make
- 6. type make test
and if the test results appear reasonable:
- 7. type sudo make install
Package managers
- On Mac OS X you may be able to use fink to simplify this task
- On Red Hat Linux you may be able to use rpm or yum to simplify this task
- On Debian Linux you may be able to use apget to simplify this task
... all these installers work similar to the CPAN installer
