• If your not using Docker to run this example
• please skip to line 54

How to use (Using Docker)

We use docker because it can isolate a test environment on our laptop without without the need to install tools directly on the laptio. Visit http://boot2docker.io/ for more information to quickyly and easily get started

boot2docker up
docker build -t primes .
docker run -it --rm --name a4 primes /bin/bash
docker attach a4

This will generate all needed inforamation to build the package You can cat autogen.sh to see how it works.

$ ./autogen.sh

This will configure the build to install into /usr/bin

$./configure --prefix=/usr/

This will make build the needed object files from src/prime.c and build primes

$ make

This will install primes in /usr/

$ make install

Program is installed run Primes

(sample output)

$ primes
Enter the number of prime numbers required
5
First 5 prime numbers are :
2
3
5

11

$ make clean
$ make dist
$ exit

How to use (Without Docker)

1. Make sure gcc, autoconf, autotools-dev, and make are installed
2. (make autogen.sh executable) chmod 755 autogen.sh
3. ./autogen.sh
4. ./configure --prefex= (e.g. /usr/ or /usr/local/)
5. make
6. make install

You can then run the program "primes"
