Compiling from source made easy for linux noobs

11/11/2010

 
Sick and tired of resolving dependencies and writing those terminal commands over and over again? , Don't even know how to compile those .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files ? .. Dun worry ur at the right place. Here's a solution for ya ;)


1. Download this package.
2. Extract it then copy the extracted folder to you home directory. The path should be something like /home/my_name/kludgeinstaller.


3. Go to that place.
4. execute the file "install_gambas2".
5· after that is finished, right click the file "KLUDGE_TARBALL_INSTALLER.gambas", select Properties, then the "open with" tab. Click the "Add" button. Then choose to use a custom command; in the textbox, type "gbr2" (without quotes), and click add". Then make sure that the option "gbr2" is selected in the list. Once it is, close the properties window.


6· double-click the file "KLUDGE_TARBALL_INSTALLER" to use the application. (Taddaaa!! MAGIC =D). This should help you a lot while compiling. Plain simple easy GUI. Now any package you compile will be placed in that exact same folder (/home/my_name/kludgeinstaller).
