Install libarchive by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=C make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--without-xml2
: This switch sets expat
for xar archive format support instead of preferred libxml2 if both
packages are installed.
--without-nettle
: This switch sets
OpenSSL for crypto support instead of preferred Nettle if both
packages are installed.
