Salamo 3alaikom,

Sorry if I made this in a wrong section. I just thought this can go in this section, move it to the appropriate location.

We all know that to install a program from source we should use the ./configure, make and make install. My question is why this combination? Is this a compilation seqence or is it related to that the configure script initiates the Makefiles for make to work on???? The last sentence is a conclusion I came to from compiling from source. Am I right about that conclusion????

Please explain more to me or point me to appropriate documentation.

Thanks and Salam.

in short, './configure' generate the Makefile(s), 'make' will compile and 'make install' will install it.

peace
