bumping an old thread.
a linux neophyte here. i wish to know can a software be compiled on one Linux box, and then installed on another? i have an Ubuntu VM, and a router with ddwrt interface, running optware. i want to compile a package from source (rtorrent) with xmlrpc, and then take the package to the router and install it on optware. want to do this because the package available in the repositories lacks xmlrpc support. can this be done? i have seen a few guides, detailing the procedures, but they're all for Debian/Ubuntu, ie, compiling as well as installing at the same time in Debian/Ubuntu itself, whereas, i want to compile on Ubuntu, and install on optware.
