Create ISO Boot Image Using ISOLinux and MKISOFS Uitility on Linux Box

Dear Viewers

This post will help you to create ISO boot image using ISOLinux and mkisofs utility on Linux box.

Prerequisite:
1. Syslinux archive.
2. Binary files, source code files and other required configuration file of any preferable  Linux flavor.
3. mkisofs utility installed.

Make and Cmake Utility Example in Linux

Dear Viewers

This post will help you to use Make and Cmake utility in Linux for auto compiling and building C language project. 

Prerequisite:
1. Basic knowledge of C language. 
2. GCC compiler on your Linux box. 
3. Make and Cmake utility installed. (On Linux terminal, type man make and man cmake for know more details on Linux terminal) 


Concept:
In your daily routine you might have come across a situation where a big software application need to be split-up into small-small module.

There is a possibility that these each one of these modules have thousands lines of source code written in them. Imagine that these modules 

have been developed by different-different developer who actually sits on different-different locations. In such scenario, whenever a developer 

make changes to source code, he is expected to compile that code manually. Same applies to other developers. This actually seems to be a tedious 

job considering each time manual compilation. Can we think for solution to this problem? Yes. We have a solution for this problem. That is Make 

and Cmake utility. Both are explained below with their practical demonstration.
