Backtalk Installation Guide

Part II: Compilation

Version 1.4.9

Prev: Part I: Configuration
Next: Part III: SQL Server Configuration


Once you've configured Backtalk, it's time to compile it. To do this, just run

 
         make
 

in the top-level distribution directory.

Make will compile the Backtalk interpreter and compiler, called backtalk and btc. If you are using Backtalk accounts, it will also build a set of user administration tools called makeacct, btpasswd, btvalid, btrmuser, and btmkuser. If you are using Unix accounts, it will build the partutil program.

If all is well, this should work without any errors or warnings. If you get errors or warnings, please send the messages to us at e-mail (via a form) so we can make sure they get fixed in the next release.
