A common mistake for users who are new to Linux (and even a few seasoned users) is to install a package from source without any clear idea about how they will remove it in the future, should they want to.
The classic instructions to install a source package are ./configure && make && make install. This (or slight variants) can work nicely for installation but
The following assumes you want a single user install. If you want a system wide install instead, run the attached script create-patchelf-pkg.sh (after first installing a suitable build environment).
Note: create-patchelf-pkg.sh also provides an uninstall script.
Install a basic build environment (if you don't already have one). How to install this varies from distro to distro. Your best bet to refer to your distro's wiki or ask in their forums. That said, here are a few example install commands for a few of the popular distros:
sudo install build-essentialsudo dnf install @development-tools
| #!/bin/sh -eu | |
| # Minutes past the hour that could *potentially* be when a percentage lands, to be used as a | |
| # simple cron tab entry. | |
| # | |
| # 0,12,24,36,48 * * * * [path]/dailycountdown.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 | |
| # Define account username | |
| PUBLISHER_USERNAME="dailyprogress@velocipederider.com" |
| #!/bin/sh -eu | |
| a=off | |
| if [ "x${1:-}" = "x-n" ] && [ -n "${2:-}" ]; then | |
| n="${2#vivaldi-}" | |
| c="Vivaldi-$n" | |
| a=on | |
| echo "Using the name: vivaldi-$n" | |
| shift 2 | |
| fi | |
| if [ -n "${1:-}" ]; then |
