Installing Procinfo

Installation of Procinfo

Install Procinfo by running the following commands:



sed "s/-ltermcap/-lncurses/" Makefile | make -f - &&
make install

Command explanations

sed "s/XConsole/#XConsole/" Makefile | make -f -: This will comment out the XConsole variable in the Makefile and pipe the output of sed (the modified Makefile) directly to the make program. This is an alternate and more efficient way to direct the output to a file and tell make to use that alternate file. The XConsole build is disabled because it can't be build yet because we don't have X installed yet.

Contents

The Procinfo package contains the procinfo program.

Description

procinfo gathers some system data from the /proc directory and prints it nicely formatted on the standard output device.
