These are typical installation steps for programs generated using GNU's AUTOCONF and AUTOMAKE
config/configure/Configure
This is used to detect the target characteristics of your mounting platform. For example, it will detect whether you have CC or GCC, not CC or GCC, it is a shell script
This step is generally used to generate a Makefile to prepare for the next compilation, and you can control the installation by adding parameters after configuring, such as:
./configure --prefix=/usr
The above means install the software under /usr
The executable is installed in /usr/bin (instead of the default /usr/local/bin)
The resource file will be installed in /usr/share (instead of the default /usr/local/share)
At the same time, you can configure the configuration files of some software by specifying the --sys-config= parameter
There are also parameters such as --with、--enable、--without、--disable, etc., which you can see in detail at ./configure --help
make
This step is used to compile, which reads instructions from the Makefile and then compiles
This step is compilation, and most source code packages are compiled through this step
Of course, some software written in Perl or Python requires calls to Perl or Python to compile
If an error occurs during the make process, you need to write down the error code (note that it's not just the last line), and then you can submit a bugreport to the developer (usually with a commit address in INSTALL), or your system has fewer dependencies, etc., which require you to carefully study the error code yourself
make test / make check
As the name suggests, this step is to check the previous step of make, to ensure that there are no errors in make, that is, all test and check in this step must be OK, and the error is 0
sudo make install
This step is used to install, which also reads instructions from the Makefile and installs it to the specified location
This command generally requires root privileges (because you want to write files to the system), so sudo is used in the front
AUTOMAKE and AUTOCONF are very useful things to use to publish C programs. If you also write programs and want to use AUTOMAKE and AUTOCONF, you can refer to the related articles on the CNGNU.ORG
