-1. Compile start-stop-daemon from source as detailed in [[start-stop-daemon]].
+
+
+== Compile start-stop-daemon ==
+
+start-stop-daemon is part of Debian's dpkg (Debian package manager) package. But as other distributions obviously do not ship it and some Debian 6 and older do not ship a recent enough version we will compile it from source. Compiling only requires an installation of '''gcc'''.
+
+'''If you get any errors during compilation (e.g. because of missing headers) please [[Author|inform me]] so I can update this page.'''
+
+1. The source of the tool is shipped with the scripts so switch to its directory:
+{{{
+cd /usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon
+}}}
+1. Compile it by running make (with makefile) '''or''' directly invoke gcc:
+ * 
+{{{
+make
+}}}
+ * 
+{{{
+gcc -o start-stop-daemon start-stop-daemon.c
+}}}
+1. Make sure it is owned by root and only writable by root, again either by running make '''or''' do it manually:
+ * 
+{{{
+make install
+}}}
+ * 
+{{{
+chown root.root start-stop-daemon
+chmod 0755 start-stop-daemon
+}}}
