OK so I know that for .rpm & .deb files and the 2 most popular package managers, you update a package by entering:
Code:
rpm -U [package_name].rpm
Code:
yum install [package_name]
Code:
dpkg -i [package_name].deb
Code:
apt-get -d [package_name]
Well now, here is my concern. I had installed
ffmpeg. I need to use an encoder that is dependent on an external library that is not on my system which is
libx264. Now I just installed
libx264 from source. Now here is where i am unsure on how to approach the next step. The Linux+ book didn't cover updating from source; just taring, configuring, compiling, installing and uninstalling.
I think i need to update
ffmpeg now that I have installed the external library
libx264. So do I need to just:
Code:
./configure
make
make install
OR just:
OR:
OR:
Code:
./configure
make uninstall
./configure
make
make install
I am unsure at this point and I need some general guidance. I will find that your posts will be very helpful.
~Thanks
