Investigation 4: How do you build software from source code?
{{Admon/note|Use fedora2|Perform these steps in the '''fedora2''' virtual machine.}}
{{Admon/note|Compiling requires the correct tools to be installed. | In order to build software from source code, you must have the appropriate software development tools (such as make and gcc) and libraries (such as GTK) installed. The required tools will vary depending on the computer languages used in the software being built. In Fedora, the command <code>yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</code> will install a basic set of development tools and libraries.}}
{{Admon/important |Software Development Tools Required |You may need to install <code>gcc</code> (GNU C Compiler) and <code>ncurses-devel</code> (Development Library) in order to complete this investigation successfully. Use <code>yum</code> to install these packages if you get an error message saying the cc command was not found or the ncurses library is not found.}}
