Hi all,
I recently tried to install a tarball of Firefox into my new Kubuntu.
After I untarred and gunzipped, I tried make, make install and make clean.
I got the computer equivalent of, "Make! We don' need no steenking
make!" I tried man make, and got " No manual entry for make."
Then I tried locate make, and among other things turned up many
references to imake. I invoked man imake, but this left some question
as to whether imake is a direct replacement for make.
Then I googled imake and read several entries, including the imake FAQ,
and what I think I learned was this:
After invoking tar xvvzf to xxx.tar.gz, invoke imake -l (or -D?), xmkmf
(to create a make file from the imake file, then make install, and make
clean.
Is this the process? Or am I still in the dark?
