The Libcap package implements the user-space interfaces to the POSIX 1003.1e capabilities available in Linux kernels. These capabilities are a partitioning of the all powerful root privilege into a set of distinct privileges.
Prevent static libraries from being installed:
sed -i '/install -m.*STA/d' libcap/Makefile
Compile the package:
make prefix=/usr lib=lib
The meaning of the make option:
lib=lib
This parameter sets the library directory to /usr/lib rather than /usr/lib64 on x86_64. It has no effect on
x86.
Install the package:
make prefix=/usr lib=lib install
