I sometimes have problem doing `./configure && make` because dependencies varies across different distro, which have some subtle differences that make it not easy as expected.
- tjoff 7y agoBut it is consistent, which is very important.
- regularfry 7y agoIf you can do `./configure && make`, you can also do a `checkinstall` on debianesque systems, which gives you a package so you don't have to do it again.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agocheckinstall does rpm/slack too (or did), not sure how debianesque they are.
- jwr 7y agoTrue. But at least it doesn't auto-download half the internet (with new and improved vulnerabilities of the day) and dump it all in your "project directory" (whatever that might be, I'm still fuzzy on the exact definition).
