The Bzip2 package contains programs for compressing and decompressing files. Compressing text files with bzip2 yields a much better compression percentage than with the traditional gzip.
The Bzip2 package does not contain a configure script. There are two
Makefile, one for the shared library,
and the other for the static library. Since we need both, We do the
compilation in two stages. First the shared library:
make -f Makefile-libbz2_so make clean
The meaning of the make parameter:
-f
Makefile-libbz2_so
This will cause Bzip2 to be built using a different
Makefile file, in this case the
Makefile-libbz2_so file, which
creates a dynamic libbz2.so
library and links the Bzip2 utilities against it.
Compile and test the package with:
make
Install the package:
make PREFIX=/tools install cp -v bzip2-shared /tools/bin/bzip2 cp -av libbz2.so* /tools/lib ln -sv libbz2.so.1.0 /tools/lib/libbz2.so
