Chapter 2. General Libraries

minizip from zlib-1.3.2

Introduction to minizip

The minizip package provides a library for mini zip and unzip, based on Zlib.

Note

This package is impossible to install in LFS until you have installed autoconf and automake.

Installation of minizip

Note

You must unpack the downloaded zlib-1.3.2.tar.gz tarball and navigate to the extracted source directory. This package is inside that source.

Install minizip by running the following commands: 

cd contrib/minizip &&

sed -i 's/crypt.h/ints.h/' Makefile.am &&

mv Makefile{,.orig} &&
autoreconf -fi      &&

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

sed -i 's/crypt.h/ints.h/' ...: This command both ensures that a needed header (ints.h) is installed and that another header (crypt.h) is not, as it conflicts with another header and can cause issues for other packages.

mv Makefile{,.orig}; autoconf -fi: These commands remove the pregenerated Makefile and generate a new one.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
