=Building From Source=

In order to prepare software for use you must "build" it using source code provided by whoever has created the program for use. The following page will document the step by step process of how to build a package from souce code. In all examples below I am using a Fedora15 system.

Prepare the Environment for Building:
In order to build the source code you must execute the following command:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
