First, prevent p7zip from installing compressed manual pages:
sed '/^gzip/d' -i install.sh
Next, fix a security vulnerability:
sed -i '160a if(_buffer == nullptr || _size == _pos) return E_FAIL;' CPP/7zip/Common/StreamObjects.cpp
Install p7zip by running the following commands:
make all3
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root user:
make DEST_HOME=/usr \
DEST_MAN=/usr/share/man \
DEST_SHARE_DOC=/usr/share/doc/p7zip-17.04 install
