DOCUMENTATION

a) Installing software via tarball files

A tarball archive is a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file usually stored in a server accessible via an internet.
Tarballs are used for programs which are not compiled, i.e. they are presented as source code.
Usually, a README file is added to the tarball file with information about how to compile (or build) and install the software on your system.
In order to install software via a tarball file you should follow this procedure:
- Download the tarball file.
- Extract the code and README from the tarball file.
- Read carefully the README file.
- Build (compile + link) the source code.
- Install software on your system.

b) Installing software via tarball files with the help of a Makefile

In order to make easier the process of building, installing and removing software via tarball files, usually an special file called Makefile is added to the tarball file.
With the help of information stored in Makefile, our system will compile (or build) and install the new software.
Makefile can be used to remove the installed software as well.
A software developement tool called make is required to take advantage of instructions provided by Makefile.
In order to install software via a tarball file with Makefile, this is the normal procedure:
- Download the tarball file
- Extract the code from the tarball file
- Build the source code running: make
- Install the new software running: sudo make install
- Clean temporary files: make clean
In order to remove software via a tarball file with Makefile, this is the normal procedure::
- Run: sudo make uninstall

c) Installing software via a .deb software package and a package manager

package manager is a tool that make easy to install a .deb package. On Debian, typical package managers are:
- dpkg, apt-get, apt or aptitude are typical cli package managers
- Gdebi or Synaptics are typical GUI package managers
A .deb software package is a special file that consists of:
- The software (binary, configuration files, etc...) that will be installed on the system.
- Files containing metada, in other words, information about the software (software's name, version number, dependencies and so on).
- Also, a package can contain extra related material such as manuals, guides, examples and tutorials.
A .deb package is identified by its:
- A name.
- Version = Major version + Minor version + Patch. For instance, 2.16.3 means: Major version=2, Minor version=16, Patch=3.
- Release = Version of the software published after being tested and deployed to customers. For instance, 2.16.3-1 means: Major version=2, Minor version=16, Patch=3, Release=1.
In order to install a .deb package, this is the normal procedure:
- Download the .deb pacakage
- Run a package manager (dpkg, Gdebi, etc...) to install the package on your system

d) Installing software via repository servers

Asoftware repository a storage location from which software packages may be retrieved and installed on a computer.
Normally, a software repository is stored in a Web (HTTP) or FTP server accessible via an internet connection.
In order to install software via a software repository, this is the normal procedure:
- ou need the repository server URL address
- You have to create or update /etc/apt/sources.list
- You have to run a package manager such as aptitude, apt-get, Synaptic, etc...
By now, you should know how to install packages via software repositories because has been the usual way to install software along this academic year.

PART I - CREATING TARBALL SOFTWARE PACKAGES

1.1- How to build a tarball software package from a program made of a single source code

Step 1) Source code development

We are going to develop a software that shows us our login name at system. Follow these steps:

1- Create a project directory

Create a new directory called loginteller.
Change into the newly created directory.

2- Create the source Code

Open Geany (or another code editor).
Create a file named loginteller.c.

4- Write a C program that retrieves and displays the system login name.


/* loginteller.c
 * Based on monousuar.c at http://www.binefa.net/gnu/gcc/processos/Informacio_d_usuari.html
 * www.binefa.cat
 * 20260223
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>    // getlogin()
#include <stdlib.h>    // exit()

int main(){
    char *szLogin;
   
    if((szLogin = getlogin())==NULL){
        perror("getlogin");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }  
    printf("Your login name at the system is : %s\n",szLogin);

    return (0);
}

5- Compile the Program


gcc loginteller.c -o loginteller

6- Run the Program


./loginteller

The expected output is:

Your login name at the system is: your_username

NOTE: The displayed username depends on your system account.

Step 2) Creating a Makefile archive

A Makefile typically starts with some variable definitions which are then followed by a set of target entries for building specific targets (typically .o & executable files in C) or executing a set of command associated with a target label. We are going to develop a Makefile for easily:

a) Compiling and linking the source code
b) Cleaning binary files
c) Installing binary files on your system
d) Uninstalling binary files on your system

Start Geany and write the following Makefile:


############################################################################
# Makefile for building: loginteller
# 20260223 - www.binefa.cat
############################################################################

CC              = gcc
CFLAGS          = -Wall -Wextra -O2
INSTALL_PROGRAM = install -m 755 -p
DEL_FILE        = rm -f

SOURCES   = loginteller.c
DESTDIR   = /usr/local/bin
TARGET    = loginteller

$(TARGET): $(SOURCES)
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(SOURCES)

clean:
	$(DEL_FILE) $(TARGET)

install: $(TARGET)
	$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $(TARGET) $(DESTDIR)

uninstall:
	$(DEL_FILE) $(DESTDIR)/$(TARGET)

Now, you can easily:

a) Compile loginteller.cb> running the following command: make or make loginteller
b) Clean old binaries and object files running the following command: make clean
c) Install a binary on your system running as a sudo user the following command: make install
d) Uninstall a binary on your system running as a sudo user the following the command: make uninstall

Step3) Creating a README file

A README> file is a text file that contains information for the user about the program. README files often contain instructions and additional help. Add a README file with the following content:


********************************************
*                                          *
* loginteller v1.01                        *
* Copyright (C) 2026, jobima & dacomo      *
*                                          *

Step 4) Creating a .tar.gz file

Run the following command:


tar cfz loginteller-1.01.tar.gz loginteller.c Makefile README

1.2- How to build a tarball software package from a program made of multiple sources codes

Step 1) Source code development

We are going to develop a software that shows us our login name at system. Follow these steps:

1- Create a project directory

Create a new directory called loginteller2.
Change into the newly created directory.

2- Create a file called login.c with the following source code:


// login.c
// login.c gets the user's login username
// jobima & dacomo
// 20260223

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>    // getlogin()
#include <stdlib.h>    // exit()

void showLogin(){
    char *szLogin;

    if((szLogin = getlogin())==NULL){
        perror("getlogin");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    printf("Your login name at the system is : %s\n",szLogin);
}

3- Create a file called uid.c with the following source code:


// Program name: uid.c
// uid.c gets the user's UID number
// Authors: jobima & dacomo
// Date: 20260223

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>    // getlogin()

void showUID(){
    int iUID;

    iUID = getuid();
    printf("Your UID number at the system is : %i\n",iUID);
}

4- Create a file called loginteller2.h with the following headers defined:


// Header name: loginteller2.h
// Header required for loginteller2.c
// Authors: jobima & dacomo
// Date: 20260223

#ifndef LOGINTELLER2_H
#define LOGINTELLER2_H
void showLogin();
void showUID();
#endif

5- Create a file called loginteller2.c with the following source code:

// Authors: jobima & dacomo
// loginteller shows the user's login name and UID number
// Date: 20260223

#include "loginteller2.h"

int main(){
    showLogin();
    showUID();

    return 0;
}

Step 2) Creating a Makefile archive

Step 4) Creating a .tar.gz file

Run the following command:


tar cfz loginteller2-1.01.tar.gz loginteller2.c login.c uid.c loginteller2.h Makefile README

PART II - CREATING .deb PACKAGES

2.1- Installing checkinstall

In order to build a .deb package you need a tool called checkintall installed on your system. Run the following commands to install checkintall:


sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install checkinstall

But If If your system tells you that it couldn't find checkintall then, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:


deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main

and run again the commands to install checkintall.

2.2- How to build a .deb software package to share and install a single source code program

We are going to create a .deb software package for loginteller., which was developed in Part I - section 1.1, following these steps:

a) Gain access to the project directory.

b) Check that loginteller.c, Makefile and README exist. If they do not exist then, you have to create them. Remember: loginteller.c, Makefile and README have to be stored in the directory project.

c) If you had installed loginteller from a tarball package then, uninstall the and clean the products of the last building running:


make uninstall
make clean

d) Run checkinstall (in this example, my username is dacomo, my computer's hostname is inf1-dacomo and the project's directory is ~/loginteller):


checkinstall --install=no --deldesc=yes --backup=no

And the systems shows the following form:

checkinstall 1.6.3, Copyright 2010 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran
           This software is released under the GNU GPL.


The package documentation directory ./doc-pak does not exist.
Should I create a default set of package docs?  [y]:

At the moment press n to avoid the creation of an additional set of package docs.

e)Now, write a description for the package:

Please write a description for the package.
End your description with an empty line or EOF.
>> <-- Write here: It tells current login name at the system
>> <-- Press Enter

f) Finally, build a .deb package with the following values:

Maintainer: your_username@your_hostname.fjeclot.net where your_username is your real username and your_computername is the real base hostname of your virtual computer.
Version: 1.01
Group: utilities
