Hi all who want to compile... Recently I successfuly compaled a few programs on my own. (not Cinelerra though) So as a result of my success I'd like to share a bit of my joy to those who want to compile for the first time... a kind of "Word to the wise..."
To compile a program from the source is not hard at all. Like Alex wrote: "Just give it a go. Start a console, go to the source directory and type at the prompt ($): $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install" But there are TWO IRON RULES that one can not forget: 1. Always make sure that you have WORKING and SOUND SOURCE FILES and that they are in the right place (right directory)... 2. Always make sure that you have all necessary LIBRARIES, other REQUIRED FILES and most of all PROPER COMPILER installed on your machine. Additionally the compiler needs to know where all needed files are. If you fail to observe any of the rules above then the compile will most likely fail with errors. So as for the rule no.1 it is usually those who write the code that will take care of this. As for the rule no.2, I guess there must be a manual addressing this point. I couldn't find that manual yet (I was also not searching very hard) but if someone would be so kind and write a link for me, I will be very happy. All the best!
