How to install a specific version of git commit in Linux? When any program requests for the library it should take from the installation.
Eg: The following version of wiringPi is required by one of my c++ program.
git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi Version: 5edd177112c99416f68ba3e8c6c4db6ed942e796

Add a checkout statement after you clone?
Eg:
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi git checkout 5edd177112c99416f68ba3e8c6c4db6ed942e796
Then you type the build and installation commands – if you want everything to use it, it probably needs to go in the default location. For the package you’re looking at the documentation says it’s:
./build
If you already have a version from a package manager (like apt
you should remove that first – the README.md
from the package you linked explains how to do this)
