General :: Compile And Install Application From Command Line?
Sep 21, 2010
I am going to compile and install my first linux application from the command line. The program is the port scanner program NMAP, and I am looking at the documentation to learn how to do it. I saw this thread [URL], and I just want to make sure I understand what it is I'm doing.
bzip2 -cd nmap-5.35DC1.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd nmap-5.35DC1
./configure
make
su root
make install
"bzip2 -cd nmap-5.35DC1.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -"
Here I am calling the bzip2 program to work with a specified file. look for the file nmap-5.35DC1.tar.bz2 in the current diretory (-cd) and to pipe (redirect) something, this is where I get lost, I think. And I know what x & v mean but not f, or what that has to do with the previous commands.
cd nmap-5.35DC1
Chage to the named directory.
./configure
I assume this is a command?
make
Builds an executable
su root
make install
not sure what the difference is between this and the above.
I'm using a webhosting server running CentOS, and I'm trying to install GCC to compile Java on the server. Since I'm new to Linux and don't have root privileges, I'm having trouble installing this. I need to install this using command-line. I don't know if I should compile from source (which I downloaded off the "gcc.gnu.org" website) or if I need to install a binary or something. Can I even install anything without root privileges?
Is there a way to find out the currently installed packages and the corresponding command line to launch the package from a terminal. For example, I know that I have openoffice installed but I do not know how to find the command line to launch it.
I've got the "OpenCryptoKi" project source from "sourceforge.net" at here:But I don't know how should I compile and build it by "GCC" or "Make"?!I have ubuntu 9.04 and I've set the linux runlevel at 3, but I'm not so familiar with compiling such project at commandline environment of linux
I have a application in /xxx/xxx/xxx/app I need to type a long path each time, if I want to use it. I want to use it just type 'app'. How to do? Whatever I'm stay in any path.
How do I kill a python application from the command line? For an example I have 2 applications running. The first is bleachbit and the second is furiusisomount. They are both python applications so they both come up as python under process name. I could kill them by ID number but if there was another way to do it so that it could be automated in a bash script.
I've just added an application to load on startup in gnome.At first gnome loads properly,but after few seconds that application starts automatically and I can see its icon on taskbar , then gnome freezes and I can't do anything in gui.
How I can remove that application from starup of gnome using command line?
how to use QGLviewer. I want to give my program a file name as a command line argument. All of the sample programs I find have a main.cpp file like this:
Quote:
#include <QApplication> #include "window.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[])
[code]....
Then the Window class, which is derived from QGLViewer, does all the program's actual work. If I want access to argc and argv, for example, to open and read a file that's passed as an argument, what would handle that? Is there a built-in way to get the arg variables to the window class, or do I need to just write a loadfile function and pass them?
I am new to the embedded domain.I am learning about cross compilation. Just i want to compile an application and an driver file for ARM platform. I have downloaded the toolchain binaries from [URL]..
I have Slackware 13-64 bit and I would like to cross-compile some Fortran and C programs to windows 32 and 64 bit applications. The Linux versions utilize X11 for the graphical users interface. I have tried MINWG but I could not get it to work, either in pre-built binary or source code form. Is there a binary version that works on Slackware 13? Alternatively, is there another method available?
How do I install Broadcom Wi-Fi on Arch Linux in command line mode on an Acer eMachines EM350?
I assume that Broadcom STA should be the driver used and my USB key the way to install it with the help of another PC, assuming that I can't use a RJ45 ethernet connection on LAN.
i've gotten my fedora 12 to the point where i can run python3 scripts from command line and can call up python 2.6.2 idle with the command 'idle' from command line. what command will call up python3 (3.1.2 to be exact) idle?
I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
Recently I've started to learn cpp language on linux,and now I run a cpp file using following commands. g++ -o xxx xxx.cpp./xxxIs there a way to make it one line command such as compile-and-run xxx.cpp?
I had written a source code of C++ and complied it with the same name using the following command line.For example: c++ source-code.cpp -o source-code.cpp.Now my source code has been replaced by the executable program.Is there any way to retrieve my source-code.
Ive been using linux for a few months now and every now and again i come accross a program that doesnt have a rpm package but says that it can be installed on Fedora using source. I'm familiar with build essentials and the following commands:-
tar xzvf package.tar.gz cd package ./configure make make install
but from what i have read fedora uses a differnet compiler. I'm trying to install Buddi budget manager and the ./configure command doesnt work, which im guessing is because it doesnt have a configure file? Can anyone confirm how to compile from source and whether there are any tutorials specific to fedora.
below is what happens when i try to run a install from the command line in virt-install. keep in mind that this is a fresh fedora12 install selinux is disabled logged in as root. i have never had so many problems with something and it is maddening for there to be a thousand freaking how-to's on the subject all acting like it is so freaking simple.
I tried to install Vlc using the terminal (terminal as root). I've used the command aptitude install vlc. Instead of installing only vlc, my gnome desktop environment was removed, gdm was removed, many more programs was removed! What's the command for installing just a single program using the command line? I was used under Ubuntu to use the command sudo apt-get install [***]
