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.

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
A common issue with configure scripts is that they might not be directly executable or present in the extracted directory. I need to make sure I am in the correct directory if there's a subdirectory within the extracted tarball, and then check for the existence of configure.

It appears there is no configure script. Let's check INSTALL for instructions.

Ah, cowsay uses a simple Makefile for installation. I will use the make install command with prefix to install it to the desired location.
compile-bench> cd cowsay-temp/cowsay-3.8.4 && make install prefix=/home/peter/result install -c -d /home/peter/result/etc/cowsay/cowpath.d
install -c -d /home/peter/result/bin

ln -s cowsay /home/peter/result/bin/cowthink
install -c -d /home/peter/result/share/man/man1
install -c -m 644 man/man1/cowsay.1 /home/peter/result/share/man/man1/cowsay.1

Now that cowsay is installed to /home/peter/result, I need to create a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary.
[empty output]
To verify everything, I'll check if the symlink is created and if cowsay runs.

The symlink is created and cowsay is working as expected. I have successfully compiled the cowsay package, installed it to /home/peter/result, and created a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary.
