Needed to build a new copy of a tool today. The page with the code:
«Building From Source
Too often today people forget that farms are the source of their food. So, too, Unix newcomers forget that code is the source of their programs. This program is not available as an RPM or in a ports directory. You must deal with the code.
The steps, roughly:
* Untar the tarball.
* Apply the patch.
* Change to the new directory.
* Make the program.
If something goes wrong, you fiddle with the source.»
