From: "M. Leo Cooper" <thegrendel@theriver.com> Subject: WWW: Software Building mini-HOWTO Updated Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 09:38:09 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- There is a great deal of generic UNIX software available as source code on the Net and on collected archives CD's, like the ones that came with your Linux distribution. Unfortunately, building a software package from source, then installing it can be tricky, if not totally mystifying. The latest update, version 1.52, of my Software Building mini-HOWTO explains the process in considerable detail, with examples. Now, you don't need to be a veteran system administrator and/or a programmer to install packages that did not come with your distribution. The Software Building mini-HOWTO is located at: http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/build.html Of course, the Software Building mini-HOWTO can also be accessed at the LDP "headquarters", at Sunsite, http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Software-Building Questions and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
