GNU Make is a widely used build automation tool that helps in managing and maintaining large software projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install GNU Make on Kali Linux.
Before we start installing GNU Make, it is always recommended to update the system using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
To build and install software packages on Kali Linux, we need to install build-essential package by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Visit the GNU Make website and download the source code for the latest version of GNU Make.
Alternatively, use the following command to download GNU Make directly:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.3.tar.gz
Use the tar command to extract the source code of the downloaded archive file:
tar -xf make-4.3.tar.gz
Navigate to the directory where you extracted the source code and run the configure script:
cd make-4.3
./configure
Next, compile the source code using the make command:
make
Finally, install GNU Make on your system by running the following command:
sudo make install
The installation process may take a few minutes, depending on your system's resources.
To check if GNU Make has been installed successfully, run the following command:
make -v
This command will display the version of GNU Make installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNU Make on Kali Linux latest. Enjoy using it to automate your software builds!
