Recently I was trying to use Gentoo, and I was really impressed of how it is faster than Ubuntu in running applications, specially when I build wine and was able to run Oblivion at a reasonable speed. I would like to know if there is a way to compile Ubuntu from source code, to optimize it to my hardware.

I downloaded wine from a windows laptop, but because you have to have a computer running Linux to download it as a .deb package, I had to download the source code as a tar. bz2.
Does anyone know how I compile it and make it executable?

Where do I find the linux-source package and the linux-headers package? Are they on the CD that I can copy to /usr/src (is that the right place...)? Or do I need to download them from the old-releases.ubuntu.com site?
The issue now is that the nVidia installer from their website wants the source code to build the right packages for this machine, however, I do not have the src directory with the source code that it is looking for. Is there some way to give this too it now?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI do a lot of programming and I have to compile the code quite often. It's not convenient to move to the directory that contains the source code every time I want to compile it. So is there a way to compile a code from the my current directory (say /home example) without moving to the directory that contains the source. I remember being able to do this but forgotten how.
EDIT: I'm using makefiles to compile. Lets say I'm in the home directory and when I type
make -f /code/make_file
this doesn't seem to work
i try to compile a c code which uses SSH library,but i get this error
Code:
libssh.h: No such file or directory
i searched and i found that This happens if a library used for linking is not present in the standard library directories used by gcc.
By default, gcc searches the following directories for header files:
/usr/local/include/
/usr/include/
and the following directories for libraries:
/usr/local/lib/
/usr/lib/

I'm trying to write a helper for the mount utility (mount.truecrypt) and there are some things in the util-linux-ng package that would be helpful. For example, in fstab.c, there is a lock_mtab() function. I want to be able to do something like:
Code:
#include "fstab.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
lock_mtab();
[code]....
But I don't know how to compile it. I was trying (naively) something like:
Code:
$ gcc mount.truecrypt.c fstab.c -o mount.truecrypt
But I guess the problem is fstab needs a whole bunch of other stuff. Should I just build the entire util-linux-ng package and then use the output somehow? If anyone is interested in mount.truecrypt (to be compatible with mount and /etc/fstab) you might be interested in giving me a little bit of guidance. I've got enough code to build the actual truecrypt command thus far. In fact, it's useable, but not robust (ie, doesn't lock the mtab, etc). You can browse the source for util-linux-ng here: [URL] and download a tagged release here:[URL]

I've been trying to work out a way to stop chunks of code being compiled using a variable in my makefile but can't work it out. What I mean is for example in my code I might have.
/****output comms portdata********/
printf("
debug comms port %d",ReadPort("ttys1);
I only wish this code to be compiled when I'm debugging. What I've tried is using #ifdef with
#ifdef COMM_PORT_DEBUG
printf("
debug comms port %d",ReadPort("ttys1);
#endif
Then in my make file I set COMM_PORT_DEBUG to 1 so
DEBUG_DEFS = COMM_PORT_DEBUG=1
I then thought I could put it into my in my link line
all: $(CC) $(CPFLAGS) $(DEBUG_DEFS) $(INC_PATHS) $(SOURCE) -o $(PROGRAM) $(LIB_DIRS) $(GAME_LIBS)
but this gives a
gcc: COMM_PORT_DEBUG=1: No such file or directory
is there a way to do this sort of thing? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

trying to install the latest version of Minitube on my 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 installation. I thought adding a PPA would let me upgrade from version 0.9 to the latest version but it didn't seem to work. So now I'm trying to install from source (I've never done this before so I'm a complete noob when it comes to compiling). I checked the install instructions in the source which reads:
Code:
# Build instructions
## Prerequisites
To compile Minitube you need Qt >= 4.5 installed.On a Debian or Ubuntu system just type:
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt4-dev-tools libphonon-dev
Windows and Mac users can get the Qt libraries from:
[URL]
Compiling on Linux is fairly easy. Just run:
qmake
and then
make
Beware of the Qt3 version of qmake! If things go wrong try running qmake-qt4 instead.
## Running
Just type:
./build/target/minitube
I installed the prerequisite packages,but just to be safe I wanted to run the ./configure command, but when I try to I get the "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" message. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Also, based on what I've read, I should have to enter some kind of install command in order to install the compiled binary but the instructions make no mention of this.
1. I was trying to compile a new version of blender from source.
2. It wasn't working. Apparently it is using python 3.2 now.
3. So I grabbed the source of python 3.2, compiled and installed. I think.
4. Still wouldn't compile. Couldn't find python 3.2.
5. So I went in to usr/share/python and changed debian-defaults to use 3.2 as the default.
6. To do that I made myself the owner of the usr directory
7. Now my system is buggered.
8. How do I restore roots privileges (if thats the problem)?

Just trying to play with old and good windowmaker. When running make it just says "make: nothing to be done for 'all'.
I often like to use packages that have to be compiled from source. However, even after downloading gcc, I can't compile anything, because the configure script gives me a message about being unable to execute C programs. I gather that this is because of a "noexec" option in /proc/self/mounts. Problem is that the file apparently cannot even be edited by root. Perhaps there is an alternate type of fedora distribution I could use?
