Emphasis. If you view your email as HTML anything between the *s is usually rendered as bold (strong). > > Is the command > > make all checkinstall clean > > ? > > First I'd:- 1. Extract the tarball 2. Read all the README files first. (esp. /pkg/README) - as autoconf is used you may find it is capable of producing a Debian package. 3. Read the output of:- $ ./configure --help | less I'd try separating the commands eg.:- $ make all $ checkinstall $ clean The last is not necessary (unless you try and compile the app twice from the same extracted archive) Paths I'm referring to are relative to the extracted tarball. Disclaimer: I haven't used tarsnap so I'm going from the retailer's instructions (YMMV).
