The Bzip2 package contains programs for compressing and decompressing files. Compressing text files with bzip2 yields a much better compression percentage than with the traditional gzip.
The Bzip2 package does not contain a configure script. There are two
Makefile
, one for the shared library,
and the other for the static library. Since we need both, We do the
compilation in two stages. First the shared library:
make -f Makefile-libbz2_so make clean
The meaning of the make parameter:
-f
Makefile-libbz2_so
This will cause Bzip2 to be built using a different
Makefile
file, in this case the
Makefile-libbz2_so
file, which
creates a dynamic libbz2.so
library and links the Bzip2 utilities against it.
Compile and test the package with:
make
Install the package:
make PREFIX=/tools install cp -v bzip2-shared /tools/bin/bzip2 cp -av libbz2.so* /tools/lib ln -sv libbz2.so.1.0 /tools/lib/libbz2.so
