Installing sshguard 2.4.0 on Fedora 30 using GNU Stow

Install GNU Stow to keep track of built-from-source-code applications using system default repository: sudo dnf install stow We install the following dependencies required for building sshguard application: sudo dnf install byacc flex gcc make We proceed to download sshguard 2.4.0 from sourceforge.net . We can then extract to default home location /home/username . Using terminal/console, set the location to the extracted folder using cd command: cd sshguard-2.4.0/ We proceed to build the sshguard using source makefile by running configure   with installation location set at /usr/local/stow/sshguard and make command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/sshguard make We proceed to install the sshguard application using make install command: We edit the sshguard configuration file by setting backend executable file location at: BACKEND="/usr/local/libexec/sshg-fw-firewalld" We proceed to symlink the respective folders under /usr/local/stow/ssh
