Compiling software on your system
A program is something a computer can execute. Originally, somebody wrote the “source code” in a programming language he/she could understand (e.g., C, C++). The program “source code” also makes sense to a compiler that converts the instructions into a binary file suited to whatever processor is wanted (e.g. a 386 or similar). (Далее…)
Why would we choose to use tarballs?
All the Red Hat distributions of Linux are provided as RPM files. An RPM file, also known, as a “package”, is a way of distributing software so that it can be easily installed, upgraded, queried, and deleted. However, in the Unix world, the defacto-standard for package distribution continues to be by way of so-called “tarballs”. Tarballs are simply compressed files that can be readable and uncompressed with the “tar” utility. Installing from tar is usually significantly more tedious than using RPM. So why would we choose to do so? (Далее…)
The necessary packages
The following are the necessary packages needed to be able to make compilations on your system after recompilation of your kernel. This software is on your Red Hat Linux 6.1 or 6.2 Part 1 CD-ROM under RedHat/RPMS directory if they are not already installed.
[root@deep /]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/ [root@deep /]# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/

Linux Compiler functionality.Overview
We are now at one of the most interesting points-where we will compile and install all the services that we wish to offer in our Linux server. Before we begin to explain how to compile and install server software with all the necessary securities and optimizations that we will need on our server, it is important to know the commands and programs we’ll use often to do the job. First of all, we must ensure that we have the necessary packages needed to make compilations on our system. These packages must be installed on your server or you’ll not be able to compile programs.
