Thanks a ton for this. I installed the current version of mpg123 with this. I went to use it, and it turns out the the current version doesn't work with 64 bit os's. So then I had to run make uninstall and install the regular way through apt-get to get the proper version. Great learning video though.
thanks for this beautiful tutorial. is it possible to first compile the software with make and then export it as a deb (or RPM) package and install the package through package manager?? so that the package manager take the responsibility of installed files and make it easy to remove?
First things first: thank you ! that was as clear and understandable as it could be currently trying to install Celestia, not quite there yet but working on it. The configure command doesn't work for some reason.
If you never programmed with C ..... just pray you dont get an error ..... aint no way you willl be able to trouble shoot without c programming experience
I totally agree. Windows has exe etc., android (which is Linux based in addition) has apk, Mac has img (correct me if i am wrong) and Linux has choices - you depend on repositories (which are sometime quite poor) or build programs from source (in which i failed almost everytime).
They're slowly getting there. There are now distro independent package managers like AppImage, Flatpak and Snap. Which would behave similarly to a typical installer you get on Windows.
I know this is a bit late but one doesn't have to build everything from source on linux at least now that one can use .deb files or whatever file corresponds to the system one uses. And most popular distributions have some form of software center/manager app where one just has to type in the name of the software and install it without needing to go get a file.
Simple, concise, very well explained, and a nice voice. 10 years this tutorial still holds some ground!
I have no idea why it took me so long to watch this but thank you Jason. Absolute Legend!
Why isn't this video has millions of view already... So nicely explained...❤️❤️
I found you 10 years late! Great job!
this is really old, but it helped me a lot installing from source for the first time!! thank you!!!
Thank you, this was very insightful and helpful.
Wonderfully done!!! Very professional! Thanks!
Thanks for uncompressing and unzipping in two steps. It clears up a bit of confusion for me.
Fantastic video, thank you! This cleared up a lot of what I needed to know!
Thank you very much sir... I was searching for this...
wow epic color scheme in this video
excellent thanks a lot your a good teacher. Please describe what is being checked in configure step?( checked ... no)
Thank you - this showed me enough to get an emulator working I really wanted!!! :)
excellent thanks alot your a good teacher
love your videos!

I use Debian 10 and for me it's ./configure most of the time.
Thank you so much for this lesson
Great and very helpful! Thanks!
Very informative!
You rule !
This really helped!

How to install the files to a specified directory of my choice?
"configure --prefix=/dir_name" or a specialized case would be to use a DESTDIR when you make install.
Look PREFIX info in readme or install... Somtime have special info.

I think you will make ldconfig video

02:06 package managers
I really don't get why linux can't have somthing similar to exe but for linux. Going thru all this is going to keep windows users away from linux.
I totally agree. Windows has exe etc., android (which is Linux based in addition) has apk, Mac has img (correct me if i am wrong) and Linux has choices - you depend on repositories (which are sometime quite poor) or build programs from source (in which i failed almost everytime).
.exe is a security risk
