A Linux administrator is compiling a software package from its source code. Which of the following command sequences is the standard and correct order for this process?
The correct sequence for compiling software from source code is typically to first run the ./configure script to check system dependencies and create a Makefile. Next, the make command is used to compile the source code into binary files based on the Makefile's instructions. Finally, make install is executed, usually with root privileges, to copy the compiled binaries, libraries, and documentation to their appropriate locations in the filesystem. The other sequences are incorrect as they do not follow this standard workflow.
