Source tree compilation on Debian/Ubuntu

I did this on my Debian Lenny am64 machine:

su 
aptitude install mysql-server-5.0 apache2 libmysqlclient15-dev 
# libmysqlclient.a does not contain SSL symbols, so use shared library
export MYSQLLIBS="-lmysqlclient -lz"
export MACHTYPE=$(uname -m)
export MYSQLINC=/usr/include/mysql
DIRS='SCRIPTS=/usr/local/bin CGI_BIN=/usr/lib/cgi-bin DOCUMENTROOT=/var/www/genome BINDIR=/usr/local/bin ENCODE_PIPELINE_BIN=/usr/local/bin'

# download
cd /usr/local
wget http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/jksrc.zip
unzip jksrc.zip
mkdir -p /var/www/genome/

# compile libraries
cd kent/src/libs
make compile $DIRS

# compile browser
cd ../hg
make $DIRS
