Sorry, but I say compiling in sense of installing programs obtained from its source code. My questions are how to setting the parameters for config, make and make install, etc. Thank you Thadeu
Hi Thadeu,
Once the development tools are installed, I'm not sure (thought I'm certainly no expert) that there is a set of specific things you need to do for SuSE compilation as such. It seems to me that you are mostly left to find your way through the documentation in the tarball, and sometimes you need to tell the compile to look in specific places for libraries, etc. Most things I've compiled successfully on SuSE just went ./configure, make, make install.
Perhaps others can put me right if there's a better way. Cheers Fergus
That's the normal way, however there are some source files that are setup to allow building rpm's via "rpmbuild -ta source.tar.bz2" or .tgz oe .tar.gz. I try the rpmbuild first, if that doesn't work, I fall back to the other method. Largely it's the same most all distros, except some like debian that do not use rpm, the ./configure etc. works for all. SuSE is Linux like the others, just that each distro has a few ease-of-use special apps they've developed - citing YaST, apt, Mandrake Control Center, RedHat whatever-it's-called. Regards Sid.

[Jan 06. 2004 02:51]: Hi,
There are some tutorial or howto about compiling for SuSE?
It's possible to compile Fortran 77 if you install the package gcc-g77. It should be on the CDs.
