A beginners howto to compiling from source on Linux systems
When dealing with Linux/Unix systems, you will, sooner or later have to deal with source compilation. Some call it jokingly a rite of passage, others call it necessary knowledge. Whatever way you look at it, it's good-to-have. We will presume that you have little to no knowledge of how to use the command line or what a compiler is. So before we begin we will help you by listing a handful of tools you will use when living with the command line, plus the specific tools necessary when compiling source code. This tutorial is intended to be as practical as possible, so if you want to read about compiler theory or the steps necessary to get from the source code to a binary, use the documentation proposed below.
