It's good to see someone out there cares enough to record a solution to these common but sometimes convoluted tasks in the Linux/Ubuntu community.

[johnnylifeson]

Very Cool !!! Thank you !!!

[Devvy996]

Argh. I hate this! Every time I try to use one of these, I do ./configure and it says "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" :c

[halosparton]

@Devvy996 I'm having the same problem... I can't get it either.

[gotbletu]

@halosparton some files dont have a ./configure, if thats the case just go to the next step, 'make'

[daeheadshot]

@Devvy996 do this instead: "sudo sh configure"

[masterdollars]

thanks man you solve my problem

[masterdollars]

[DNYCEisBackagain]

[91jmda]

there has to be an easier way to do this stuff ~.~

[Lynnc83]

amazing

[alexandr1us]

I don't get why people haven't programmed any gui tool for tarball installation

[josuechato]

good video 

[adrienblavier]

thx for the trick Phenom 1090T FTW!

[reinismix0lost]

nice - i didn`t know that you can drag and drop folders in terminal, thats more faster and easier than writing whole thing

Hi if you just type "make -j" without a number then you will maxout the compile.

A question: when you compile it , it will be optimized for your computer, so can it be a problem if someone else install you package on their computer?

A question: How can i compile for different architectures then you own computer?

A question: How can i make a source so that other can out in their source.list for that package or for a couple of packages ?

Good video

[gotbletu]

@Mysticsam86 1) i guess it just wont be optimize on other pc

2) people usually use a Virtual Machine to compile with different architectures

3) Ubuntu Launchpad is free to sign up to host ur files

[Mysticsam86]

@gotbletu oki thanks for the answers :)

How did you get Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix in Linux? 5:01

[gotbletu]

@Laoch111 oh yea i forgot about this game, good eye lols

[Laoch111]

@gotbletu I've got eyes like a hawk. ^_^

I thought that game was just for the PS and Xbox!

[gotbletu]

@Laoch111 its a mugen they made, works with wine, controller support works too, this game AI is fucking hardcore, so i gave up loL

[Laoch111]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial.

Part One:

The problem when building from source is if you don't specify the runtime dependencies and you uninstall one of the runtime dependencies, your app will break.

Example: if you build gtk-recordmydesktop and uninstall the recordmydesktop backend or libtheora, your app will break

Another thing you could do to increase the performance of an app is compiling it with your CPU's cflags.

Example: ./configure CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

[commodore256]

Part Two: Please read my other Comment (youtube only shows my last comment from this video in your inbox)

But, Those cflags in part one were my cflags for a pentium 4 prescott.

To find your cflags, you have to go to this bit.ly broken link: bitly=9ekK8y

Youtube doesn't like links in the comments.

Anyway you do notice a difference in performance in wine.

To install "build dependences" for programs in the repos, do sudo apt-get build-deb wine1.2 (I'm using that as an example)

[gotbletu]

@commodore256 sounds interesting, ill give those a shot, Thanks
