I have two requirements    I want whole Ubuntu 12.04 Source code. I want to compile it.   Can you please tell me about from where I can get the source code and what tool I will need to compile it? From 30000 feet, it might look stupid but I really need this.   Thanks for your support...  Regards

I'd like to create a customized Ubuntu Server 12.04 ISO but couldn't find a clear approach on how to do it. I see that Ubuntu-builder is a very good app to create a customized Ubuntu Desktop, but what about Ubuntu Server?

I'm looking for a package that provides a specific binary, so I can install it. how can I search to find out what packages provide this binary? (note: I know there's at least one tool that does this, but I have forgotten its name.)

I came across a  where a comprehensive example would be very useful. So I wrote an example program showing one way to solve their problem.  My problem is that when I was done creating it, and testing to make sure it worked, it was over 400 lines in 18 files. My example included source code, header files, and scripts for building the example in a variety of circumstances.   It's a working and tested, so it's of huge value to illustrate the tricky solution, but because it's all there, my response was huge! Is there a better way of posting my code dump?  Edit:  I guess there isn't a current "best way" to include a large chunk of code, so I made this a feature request and tried to add some ideas.  Perhaps code entries that are longer then a certain number of lines, or ones that have been specifically marked could initially be displayed as "collapsed", and someone could expand them if they want to see them?  Or maybe, like attaching images, users with enough reputation could attach an archive of files. They could be displayed as "attached code" (initially collapsed also).  Some problems have simple answers that unfortunately touch disproportionately large parts of the program, or can be solved in slightly different ways depending on the environment. I feel that stackoverflow needs a way of capturing these large solutions. Sometimes, they're large chunks of code. In my case, the code was small, but there were many files.  Using github or a similar code repository is great, but we risk linkrot (even for big guys like github) and loose the community editing, commenting, and voting abilities.  I understand the problems that could come from with people dumping whole "I can't get this to work" packages, but surely we already have a solution for that in moderation.  Edit again:  I'm starting to see that this may have been already addressed in posts like    , and    If you feel this a dupe, I'm open to having it "closed as already addressed"

I want to be able to recreate specific packages by compiling the source code of the package. To compile the source code one has to run the configuration process, followed by the compilation process. I know how to do it, just not what specifics Ubuntu is supplying.  Packages could be Empathy, Banshee or specific libraries for that matter. I can compile them just fine using the (general) information provided at each project site. In a lot of cases I do, however, end up with a build which is just not quite the same as the original one. Slightly different menu options, some functionality functioning differently or not at all, etc.  Is there any source where the configuration and compilation options can be found which are used for the packages included in Ubuntu? Possible also Ubuntu or Debian specific patches.

Was asked by a new Ubuntu user - who also wants to learn about programming - what he could use to run BASIC code. He was working through a BASIC book before trying out Ubuntu, and he'd like to continue without having to switch back to Windows.  It looks like there are a few BASIC packages in the standard repositories, as well as projects like Mono which may include some kind of BASIC support.   What would be a good recommendation from the standard repositories - or from a deb package - for someone learning the basics of BASIC and new to Ubuntu?

I posted a question and a couple of respondents asked for the source code. I could only post portions of the code.  If attachments were allowed I could have uploaded a .zip file with the whole application.  Will this be a feature in SO?

Is there a way to compile all tex files within a specific folder, from LINUX terminal, at once?   I would like to do this using pdflatex or lualatex in a way to create a pdf file for each distinc original tex file.   This question is not about creating individual tex files to form a single pdf file using \input or \include, at all.

I have seen a few (old) posts on the 'net about hacking together some support for pre-compiled headers in CMake. They all seem a bit all-over the place and everyone has their own way of doing it. What is the best way of doing it currently?

I need a newer version of glibc in my ubuntu version (precise, 12.04), but I don't seem to be able to go beyond version 2.15 using apt-get.  I tried to compile it by myself but I almost destroyed my distribution, so I was wondering if someone has gone through this process successfully and would be so kind to guide me.

I'd like to know how I would build Unity from source code in the current development release. Please cover the following topics:   Which packages are needed to compile Unity? Where would I get the current source code? What are the steps to actually configure and compile Unity? Is it possible to safely run the latest version alongside the version from the repositories?

I downloaded VirtualBox OSE from the Ubuntu Software Center but it seems that that version is limited. I prefer to have the complete version and don't really care if it's closed source or not.  Can I install it via a terminal or do I have to download something from a website?  I don't know how to install software I download from the web. So far I've only used the Software Center.

Is there good example code or a test project for explaining the . There are a lot of explanation links, but I want to have some good example code to show others without reinventing the wheel.
