View Full Version : [SOLVED] Compile and transfer

I've got a laptop and a netbook with Ubuntu 10.04 and the Netbook Edition installed with i686 versions respectively. If I compile software on one box, how do I copy it to the other? The netbook doesn't have the build/dev tools installed, so I don't want to compile twice -- or on an Atom CPU.

Is the easiest way to make a .deb, or is there a better way to transfer a successful build onto the netbook? Thanks

When you do sudo make install in the compiling process, change that to sudo make checkinstall and it will build a .deb

Thanks. It's just sudo checkinstall to make a deb

Have done. Where's the place to go to upload successful deb builds? If anyone is curious it's Handbrake 0.9.4 for x86/i686

To remix a bad commercial, "There's a repo for that". Literally. I get daily updates. But are you asking where to store files on the internet? Sendspace works good, Megaupload, Flash Drives, anything.

If you mean Handbrake, this is from the website (http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php)

0.9.4 is no longer available due to compatibility issues with the newer version of gnome.And then there are unstable pre-release builds, so I figured compiling 0.9.4 was the best option.

Um, those 'unstable' pre-release builds are almost always better than 0.9.4. 0.9.4 is stable in the sense that it is not changing. Not in the sense that it is free of bugs. The nightly builds have far fewer bugs than 0.9.4, but since they change nightly, you never know when a show stopper bug might arise. But such show stoppers are fixed before the next nightly if not within minutes of being discovered.
