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 tarball and examining its contents.

Now I'll install cowsay to the /home/peter/result directory using the prefix parameter, then create the symlink as requested.

Summary
I have successfully completed your request! Here's what was done:
1. Extracted the cowsay-3.8.4 source code from /home/peter/cowsay.tar.gz
2. Compiled and installed cowsay to /home/peter/result using the Makefile with prefix=/home/peter/result
3. Created a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay → /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay
The installation includes:
- Binary: /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay (the main executable Perl script)
- Symlink in bin: /home/peter/result/bin/cowthink → cowsay
- Root symlink: /home/peter/result/cowsay → /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay (as requested)
- Cow files: Multiple .cow files in /home/peter/result/share/cowsay/cows/
- Man pages: In /home/peter/result/share/man/man1/
- Config directory: /home/peter/result/etc/cowsay/cowpath.d
The installation has been verified and cowsay is working correctly!
