6.7. Bzip2-1.0.3

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.

6.7.1. Installation of Bzip2

We need to remove the tests since they won't work on a multi-architecture build, and change the default lib path to lib64:

sed -i -e 's@^\(all:.*\) test@\1@g' \
    -e 's@/lib\(/\| \|$\)@/lib64\1@g' Makefile

The Bzip2 package does not contain a configure script. Compile it with:

make CC="${CC} ${BUILD64}" AR="${AR}" RANLIB="${RANLIB}"

Install the package:

make PREFIX=/tools install

Details on this package are located in Section 10.31.2, “Contents of Bzip2.”
