General :: Install From Repository Vs Compile For Long Term Support
Jun 8, 2010
I'm a Windows admin who does part time Linux server installs. Most of the time I'm asked to deploy a generic Windows server, install a few basic applications and if needed some other applications like Nagios or Zabbix. My question is for long term support, or patching should I be focusing on deploying with repositories to install applications or compile from source? In the Windows world you can patch and update from Windows Update, but is there problems using 3rd party repositories for future updates? Would one of these locations go off line?

What is the long term support plan for CentOS 5.2 (or indeed 5.3)? We are interested in changing our machines away from Scientific Linux 4.5, because support is ending for that OS within 12 months. So we need to make sure that a new OS choice is going to have support for a number of years.

I wanted to add a repository so I took the steps of zypper ar -f ((repo directory)) and got:
Code:
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.4
If only one argument is used, it must be a URI pointing to a .repo file.
addrepo (ar) [options] <URI> <alias>
addrepo (ar) [options] <file.repo>

A while back I compiled a custom kernel, 2.6.35. I forgot to add UDF support when configuring and compiling. Will I need to re-compile the kernel to get UDF support or is there some other way I can add it?

I am trying to install an Open GL screen saver "EulerTop-1.2" and I get the following error message when I run configure - "checking for perl /usr/bin/perl checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (library qt-mt) not found. For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!" It appears to be installed -
vance@linux-i4xo:/> rpm -q qt3
qt3-3.3.8b-93.1.x86_64
how does one enable thread support? I have looked around the web but cannot find a solution.

I've successfully compiled and installed PHP to run with nginx. But I could not use some jpeg functions from GD library. I've checked for libjpeg-devel and gd-devel and found that they had been installed, libjpeg.so is located at /usr/lib This is my configure command:
./configure --with-config-file-path=/etc/php --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php/conf.d --disable-pdo --with-openssl --with-pcre-regex --without-sqlite3 --with-zlib --enable-bcmath --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --with-curl --with-curlwrappers --enable-exif --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-gd-jis-conv --with-gettext --with-mhash --enable-intl --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --with-mysql --with-mysql-sock --enable-soap --enable-sockets --with-xsl --enable-zip
phpinfo() shows that gd is enabled with GIF and PNG supports but without JPEG.

The sysytem I use is Debian Squeeze. what's wrong but jackd2 from debian official repositories does not work with alsa (I have alsa-base, alsa-tools, libaudio-dev, libaudiofile-dev and libasound2-dev installed). Now I downloaded fresh jackd2 source from sourceforge and when I try to "./waf -configure" it it says that there is no alsa package or it's too old in the system and configures itself without alsa support.

One of those odd things I learned the hard way is that if you are writing a shared object (library/.so) and any programs that will link to that library uses floating point numbers, the library must be compiled as if it uses floating point numbers. What that really means is, you need to declare at least one float in the source for the library or when the caller connects and tries to run code in the library, the process aborts.I end up putting a float pi (3.1415); in the code and getting an unused variable warning all the time. There has to be a simpler way, some flag to pass to g++ that says, "include floating point support even if you don't really need to."
p.s. Gosh I hope I remembered this correctly. I encountered this problem doing a multi-platform build for Windows and Linux. This COULD be a VC++ problem that I just carried into Linux by using the same source.

Is it possible to install all packages from an APT repository?
I know it is possible to do it manually, but then you would need to know all the package names, and I don't.
I want to install all the packages from BackTrack into my Ubuntu installation. I really don't like the idea of having it in a VM and having a separate partition for it is even more out of the question. I know that the folks at BackTrack doesn't like it when people leech their repositories, but that's what you get for releasing open source software. Stupid? maybe.. A valid reason? probably not.. Do I still want it? Yes.
Another edit: I have now given up on this as it seems impossible to get it to work even by manually installing packages.

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.
