If you want to compile software from source without installing it system-wide, which command should you run after ./configure?
Asudo make install
Bmake install
Cmake
Dmake clean
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the build process

    make compiles the source code into binaries but does not install them.

  2. Step 2: Avoid installation commands

    make install or sudo make install copies files to system directories, which is not desired here.

  3. Step 3: Recognize make clean

    This command removes build artifacts and is not used for compiling.

  4. Final Answer:

    make -> Option C

  5. Quick Check:

    Compile only with make, skip install [OK]
Quick Trick: Run make to compile without installing [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Running make install when only compiling is needed
  • Using sudo unnecessarily
