Installation of Zip
Install Zip by running the following commands:
make -f unix/Makefile generic_gcc
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make prefix=/usr MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man1 -f unix/Makefile install
Command Explanations
make prefix=/usr -f unix/Makefile install: This command overrides the prefix variable that is set to /usr/local in the unix/Makefile. Alternatives to generic_gcc can be seen with a make -f unix/Makefile list command.
