The Perfect Desktop - Slackware 12 - Page 10

20 Installing From Source:

Installing from source code is easy. Usually the following steps are all you need to do:

./configure

make

su -c "make install"

Download Filelight from http://www.methylblue.com/filelight/.

Notice that this is a Bzipped file unlike all the other downloads in this tutorial that are Gzipped. This means that we'll be extracting the file using tar xjvf instead of tar xzvf.

Click the Source tarball to download:

Save the file:

I made a directory named filelight and saved it there:

In the terminal window type,

cd /home/brian/Desktop/downloads/filelight

Then extract the contents by typing,

tar xjvf filelight-1.0.tar.bz2

After you unpack the file a directory is created named filelight-1.0.

Change your directory to filelight-1.0 by typing,

cd filelight-1.0

Type,

./configure

Then run make,

make

Finally run,

su -c "make install"

Or, if you are already logged in as root just type,

make install

Once installation is finished run the program by clicking, K Menu->Utilities->Filelight:
