Task

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.

Execution log

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.

Done. I built cowsay and installed it into /home/peter/result.

What I did:

  • Extracted /home/peter/cowsay.tar.gz (cowsay-3.8.4).
  • Built the package (make).
  • Installed the binary to /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay.
  • Installed cowfiles to /home/peter/result/share/cowsay/cows.
  • Created a symlink /home/peter/result/cowsay -> /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay.

Verification:

  • Binary: /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay (exists, executable).
  • Symlink: /home/peter/result/cowsay -> /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay.
  • Quick run: /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay hi produced output.

If you want a different symlink location/name or a packaged archive of /home/peter/result, tell me which and I'll prepare it.

Task finished successfully, all checks passed!
Checks passed:
  • Cowsay binary exists
  • Cowsay help contains expected string
  • Cowsay works
  • Cowsay alpaca works
