Jam is a free, open-source build tool that can be used to automate the building of software projects. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Jam on OpenBSD.
Before you can install Jam on OpenBSD, you need to install a few prerequisites. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pkg_add gmake gcc
This command will install the gmake and gcc packages, which are required by Jam.
You can download the latest version of Jam from the official website at https://jamshelf.com/. Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to a directory of your choice.
To build and install Jam on OpenBSD, follow these steps:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
This command will configure Jam to install to the /usr/local directory on your system.
gmake
This command will compile Jam from the source files.
sudo gmake install
This command will install Jam on your OpenBSD system.
To verify that Jam has been installed correctly, open a terminal and run the following command:
jam -v
This command should output the version number of the installed Jam build tool.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Jam on OpenBSD!
