This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.

Install libpaper by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --disable-static &&
make
        This package does not come with a test suite.
          Now, as the root user:
        
make install &&
mkdir -vp /etc/libpaper.d &&
cat > /usr/bin/run-parts << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# run-parts:  Runs all the scripts found in a directory.
# from Slackware, by Patrick J. Volkerding with ideas borrowed
# from the Red Hat and Debian versions of this utility.
# keep going when something fails
set +e
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
  echo "Usage: run-parts <directory>"
  exit 1
fi
if [ ! -d $1 ]; then
  echo "Not a directory: $1"
  echo "Usage: run-parts <directory>"
  exit 1
fi
# There are several types of files that we would like to
# ignore automatically, as they are likely to be backups
# of other scripts:
IGNORE_SUFFIXES="~ ^ , .bak .new .rpmsave .rpmorig .rpmnew .swp"
# Main loop:
for SCRIPT in $1/* ; do
  # If this is not a regular file, skip it:
  if [ ! -f $SCRIPT ]; then
    continue
  fi
  # Determine if this file should be skipped by suffix:
  SKIP=false
  for SUFFIX in $IGNORE_SUFFIXES ; do
    if [ ! "$(basename $SCRIPT $SUFFIX)" = "$(basename $SCRIPT)" ]; then
      SKIP=true
      break
    fi
  done
  if [ "$SKIP" = "true" ]; then
    continue
  fi
  # If we've made it this far, then run the script if it's executable:
  if [ -x $SCRIPT ]; then
    $SCRIPT || echo "$SCRIPT failed."
  fi
done
exit 0
EOF
chmod -v 755 /usr/bin/run-parts
      
          --disable-static: This
          switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
        
mkdir -pv /etc/libpaper.d: libpaper expects that packages will install files into this directory.
          cat > /usr/bin/run-parts <<
          "EOF" : paperconfig
          is a script which will invoke run-parts if /etc/libpaper.d exists. No other BLFS package
          installs this, so we create it here.
        
            Create /etc/papersize to set the
            default system paper size. Issue the following command as the
            root user to set this to 'A4'
            (libpaper prefers the lowercase form). You may wish to use a
            different size, such as letter.
          
cat > /etc/papersize << "EOF" a4 EOF
