How to compile a program from github

Hi there, I just watched a nice long youtube video about bluefin, and I would really like to try it out, however, I am unsure how I would be able to install a program that I install in every distro I use - intel-undervolt. Its from github. GitHub - kitsunyan/intel-undervolt: Intel CPU undervolting and throttling configuration tool

Once compiled it becomes a systemd service. Does anybody know if this is possible with Bluefin? If so how would you do it?

Thanks

According to intel-undervolt/configure at ea0e74c583fb0ba4bccd896d3e9c7eb83507b749 · kitsunyan/intel-undervolt · GitHub

I’d say, maybe, because /etc is writeable.

Jumping off of what @xlion said, I think the only “issue” is going to going to be the default bindir (/usr/bin) path as it’s read only. You’ll need to adjust this to a writable path under /var such as /var/opt/bin (you’d need to create the bin folder as it doesn’t exist by default).

If you can’t get make install to write to the correct paths, you might be able to just make it then manually copy the compiled program and config files into the neccassry paths.

Modify the makefile to change to another location
