Greetings all-
My apologies for the slightly OT post. My primary production platform *IS* CentOS 5.x with a minor scattering of 4.x machines behind firewalls here and there... I find that I'm being placed more and more into a 'quasi-developer' role which strays some from my normal system/network admin duties. Specifically, having to work with the deep internals of make, autoconf, libtool, cross platform compilation, non-standard libs, etc. My head spins some days trying to work through some of these types of issues.
There is an excellent series of articles on the Pedantic Programmer blog. http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=185 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=186 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=187 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=188 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=189 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=192 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=196 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=199 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=201 http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=208
It walks through an example usage of make, pgk-config, etc...
