Install libarchive by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static --without-expat && make
To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--without-expat
: This
switch disables using expat for xar format support. Due to a bug
the xar reader will loop infinitely if expat is used. The upstream
prefers libxml2 for xar support anyway.
--without-nettle
: This switch sets
OpenSSL for crypto support instead of preferred Nettle if both
packages are installed.
