Programming :: Compile A Big Project In Command Line?
Jun 10, 2010
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 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?
I have C++ source code(*.cpp) files that expects it's header files in System's include folder which is/usr/include.The cpp files has include lines like this:
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
I am trying to learn how to pass more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.
I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code: #! /bin/bash # #TODO write this for gnome and xterm USAGE=" ${0##*/} [-x] [-g] code....
However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code: gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.
I'm building a script for my place of employment. The next step in it is checking what the user input was. Determining if they added a part in there or not. The script prompts for a hostname. Hostnames are localhost.localdomain. Now, I want the script to check to see if they put localdomain and if they did, not to add the domain to the /etc/sysconfig/network, but just what they entered. So say the user inputs:
I need to write a script that will take 1 command line argument. The argument will be a username. The script will determine if the user exists on the system and will print an error if it does not. If the user does exist it will determine if the user is currently logged in, if the user is not logged in it will determine the last time the user logged in and display the file in the users home directory that was most recently modified.
I am using an awk command to print a line from a cvs file.the awk command includes an if statement that filter the output-lets say i want to print all the lines that the price field is greater than 30.i have it working when i put the parameters myself.. but when i try to send them with vars it wont work..i am sending the sign of the if statement - can only be: == , < , >it looks like this:
I am wanting to write a program that runs a program or command-line. Is there are way of making a program that activates a command-line (for example executing 'ps -a -f' or '/home/shared/fah').
In addition to that, I want the program to do a 'ps -a -f' and put the results in a buff, how could I do this.
I'm troubleshooting a batch of scripts I'm modifying, including an IDL script called by a .csh script. the IDL scripts were provided to me by a coworker and my .csh script is intended to automate a lengthy set of extremely tedious and time consuming processing tasks.
I am currently in the process of debugging, and can't get the IDL to print any messages other than critical failures to the screen. Is there any easy way to redirect the stdout to either a logfile or the screen?
I am taking an argument from the command prompt for my shell script ie $1 and i need to use $1 in my awk part of the script.But it actually doesn't get any value when used in awk. accessing this command line argument in awk?
I just want to see how the command line such as : "cat", "split", "ls"...ect source code ? Are they written in C or other language ? I don't know where to search those?
I want to know how to get eg. the contents of a form on a webpage which has been passed to a server side PHP script, inside for example an array which I can read. I've been reading a ebook on PHP which as far as I can see doesn't cover this inside it.
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'm trying to automate two command lines, a synclient and a syndaemon. They both work well if I type them manually in a terminal, but if I do a littre script to do this, tap to click and scrolling don't work anymore.
This is the script I wrote: Code: Select all#!/bin/bash synclient VertEdgeScroll=1 syndaemon -d -t -K exit 0
So I made a chmod +x on the file, placed it in ~/bin then change PATH to include the directory. Then I added this file in "Startup applications".
The scripts run ok, mais it has a different effect than if I run the commands manually.
I am trying to make a java application run on a barebone computer connected to a tv screen trough hdmi. I want to make this run as light as possible so gnome probably is overkill. currently I'm running fluxbox but I would like to encapsulate video and some other gui stuff in the program and run it command line(trough startup script.) Another way to do this would be running it when fluxbox starts in full screen. But I really don't know how to do this or where to edit the startup script so I can run it. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 server edition and only installed jre, fluxbox, and of course ssh-server.
Here's the actual line of code, which exists in a bash script:
Code:
I want to replace instances like this:
Code:
with this:
Code:
Using this:
Code:
Which works great when there's only ONE of the pattern on the line. But in a case like the "actual line" I posted first, where there are two patterns, separated by a slash, only ONE gets replaced
Watch:
Code:
Why? There must be (among many other things) something I'm not knowing about sed, that's causing this.
-- I'm currently using the ~ (tilde) as the separator in the sed command. It doesn't matter, I've used / ~ and % with no difference.
-- As a test, I tried putting a different character(s) in the middle of the original pattern instead of the / but that made no difference.
-- I've come up with various similar but slightly different regexs that will do this replacement, but they all have had this same result.
-- I tried the sed single-quoted, double-quoted, and unquoted; the latter fails to execute, and the formers both work as described here: wrong.
