Installing Stress Make

Stress Make works by patching GNU Make to talk to a job-scheduling server. You need a few things to build Stress Make:

  1. A GNU Make tarball. Download a recent one from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/make/.

  2. A compiler for the Go programming language. Download the appropriate one for your platform from https://golang.org/dl/ and install it.

  3. A C compiler (e.g., GCC).

If you downloaded a Stress Make distribution that contains a top-level configure script, you should be good to go. If not, you'll additionally need the GNU Autotools, specifically Autoconf and Automake. Install those, then generate a configure script—and other things needed by the build process—by running

$ autoconf -f -v -i

(Ignore the you should use literals warnings.)

Once those prerequisites are satisfied you can configure, build, and install Stress Make. You'll need to point configure to the GNU Make tarball you downloaded, though:

$ ./configure --with-make-tar=$HOME/Downloads/make-4.1.tar.gz
$ make
$ make install

The default installation location is /usr/local/. See the Autoconf manual for instructions on how to tell configure to install into a different location, use nonstandard compiler options, and other such things.
