Compiling via command line CentOS

[Redgie]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem and don't have enough Linux knowledge to do this myself so thought I'd see if any of you know.

I've never compiled anything under Linux before, I've heard about the use of makefile and things but I don't know anything about it, and as my server has static usage (Always does the same thing, never gets new programs installed etc) I've never had to do this before.

There is an incompatibility between my installations glib or something along those lines and a plugin I wish to add to a program that's running. So to make it compatible I need to compile it on my server.

The source is linked to as being here: https://github.com/Zeex/crashdetect

But I have no idea where to go from here, I've had a look round the net but the instructions are always based on specific programs and so when I follow them I end up getting lost.

Any help would be hugely appreciated, I just need to know how to compile the source on my command line CentOS installation based on the files linked to above.

Thanks!

Had to install a whole lots of devels, libs and all sorts to get CMake 2.8 to work on my CentOS (Packages are normally for 2.6) but now it works, has compiled and is now running on my server. Don't know how well it will work till my server crashes but will post back then.

Thank you HUGELY for your help

Just wanted to post back and say it works PERFECTLY. It has already showed me 1 vulnerability in my script and it's only been a few hours, thanks again for helping!
