Install cpio by running the following commands:
./configure CPIO_MT_PROG=mt \ --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin \ --libexecdir=/tmp \ --with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt && make
If you have teTeX-3.0 installed and wish to create alternate forms of the documentation, issue the any or all of the following commands:
make -C doc pdf && make -C doc ps && texi2html -o doc/cpio.html doc/cpio.texi && makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/cpio.txt doc/cpio.texi
To test the results, issue make check
Now, as the root
user:
make install
If you built any of the alternate forms of documentation, install
it by issuing the following commands as the root
user:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/cpio-2.9 && install -v -m644 doc/cpio.{pdf,ps,dvi,html,txt} \ /usr/share/doc/cpio-2.9
CPIO_MT_PROG=mt
: This
parameter forces the building and installation of the mt program.
--bindir=/bin
: This
parameter installs cpio to /bin
instead of /usr/bin
as recommended by the FHS guidelines.
--libexecdir=/tmp
: This
parameter is used so that /usr/libexec
is not created.
--with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt
:
This parameter inhibits building the rmt program as it is already
installed by the Tar package in
LFS.
