Compile GNU Screen for AlmaLinux

Published / by Andrew

Quick script to compile GNU Screen from source on AlmaLinux (if you don’t want to migrate to TMux):

# Run this as root.
dnf install gcc make ncurses-devel
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/screen-4.9.1.tar.gz
cd screen-4.9.1
tar -xvf ./screen-4.9.1.tar.gz
sh ./configure
make
cp ./screen /usr/bin/


Then manually remove the archive file and folder.

First Entry

Published / by Andrew

Hi, everyone.  I’ve decided to take the advice of Eli the Computer Guy and make a professional website for myself.  I think it’s a good idea because it combines two things that I really enjoy, code and writing, and it also increases my web presence so that people know more about who I am and what I can do.

In the future, I may do some customization on this WP blog, if for no other reason than to get the experience.  However, for the moment, I’m more concerned with the actual content rather than showing off PHP skillz.

(Is spelling “skills” with a “z” still a thing?  I don’t remember if they did that in Mr. Robot.)

I will be linking to all future posts in my Twitter feed and my LinkedIn account (hopefully automating that process in the near future).  I do have some ideas for blog posts that I’ve written down, and I will probably start creating new entries tomorrow.

These blog entries will be exclusively regarding software development and related technologies.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
