I'm trying to configure and install an application and library package. The package is this. I followed the instructions and it installed fine, and I'm able to run the binary from the src directory, to where it installed.

Now I wanted to install a set of libraries by appending --enable-asio-lib i.e. I ran ./configure --enable-asio-lib. I had already installed the required dependencies and there were no errors.

However, when I check /usr/local/lib or /usr /local/include, there are no files present. What do I have to do to make ./configure install the libraries (and possibly the binaries) in the regular place where these files are normally installed?

You can use:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

or in your case

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-asio-lib

It will install in the /usr/local directory tree i.e. in /usr/local/bin/, /usr/local/lib, etc ...

  • That's the standard way. Have you tested in this particular case? Because /usr/local/ is the default prefix in configure

The standard prefix in configure is /usr/local.

Install the tool checkinstall:

sudo apt-get install checkinstall

and follow this steps:

git clone [email protected]:tatsuhiro-t/nghttp2.git
cd nghttp2
autoreconf -i
automake
autoconf

# with asio-lib
./configure --enable-asio-lib
make

Install with

make install

or checkinstall for a deb package:

sudo checkinstall

There is one warning during the installation:

*** Warning: The package version "0.7.15-DEV

If you see that, press Enter and 3 and type eg:

0.7.15

After the package is installed.

For the nghttp2 asio you need to use the following commands

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-boost=<provide-path-of-boost-root> --enable-asio-lib
