Cowsay 3.8.4 is an ASCII-art speech bubble generator.
Project link: github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay.
Task:
Install the cowsay package to a specific location.
Difficulties:
Since cowsay is just a single Perl script it doesn't require any compilation, however it comes with several asset files that need to be copied as well.
Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.
You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.
You are given a cowsay v3.8.4 source code at /home/peter/cowsay.tar.gz. Please compile the cowsay package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary.
I'll help you compile and install cowsay from the source code. Let me start by extracting the source code and examining its contents.

Let me check the INSTALL file to understand the installation process:
compile-bench> cd cowsay-3.8.4 && cat INSTALL =================

To install cowsay, run:
make install
Or:
make install prefix=/path/to/my/prefix

Let me also check the Makefile to understand the build system:

Now let me create the result directory and install cowsay to it:

Perfect! Now let me verify the installation and check what was installed:
compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/result/ total 20

Now let me test if the cowsay binary works correctly:
compile-bench> /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay "Hello World" _____________

↓ 9 lines
_____________

\ ^__^

(__)\ )\/\
||----w |

Great! The cowsay binary is working correctly. Now let me create a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary as requested:
[empty output]
Let me verify the symlink was created correctly:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 peter peter 29 Sep 16 23:23 /home/peter/result/cowsay -> /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay
Let me test that the symlink works:
compile-bench> /home/peter/result/cowsay "Testing symlink" _________________

\ ^__^

Perfect! Let me also verify the complete directory structure to confirm everything is installed correctly:
/home/peter/result/bin/cowsay
compile-bench> find /home/peter/result -name "*.cow" | head -5 /home/peter/result/share/cowsay/cows/milk.cow
/home/peter/result/share/cowsay/cows/bong.cow

Excellent! I have successfully completed the task. Here's a summary of what was accomplished:
Summary
✅ Extracted the cowsay v3.8.4 source code from /home/peter/cowsay.tar.gz
✅ Compiled and installed cowsay to /home/peter/result using the make install prefix=/home/peter/result command
✅ Created symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary at /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay
✅ Verified the installation works correctly by testing both the direct binary and the symlink
Installation Details
- Binary location: /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay
- Symlink location: /home/peter/result/cowsay (points to the binary above)
- Cow files: Located in /home/peter/result/share/cowsay/cows/
- Man pages: Located in /home/peter/result/share/man/man1/
- Configuration: Located in /home/peter/result/etc/cowsay/
Both /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay and /home/peter/result/cowsay work correctly and can be used to generate ASCII art with talking cows.
