5.33. Xz-5.0.3
The Xz package contains programs for compressing and decompressing files. It provides capabilities for the lzma
and the newer xz compression formats. Compressing text files with xz yields a better compression percentage than
with the traditional gzip or bzip2 commands.
Approximate build time: 0.3 SBU
Required disk space: 14 MB
5.33.1. Installation of Xz-Utils
Prepare Xz for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools
Compile the package:
make
Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools
here in this chapter. To run the Xz test suite anyway, issue the following command:
make check
Install the package:
make install
Details on this package are located in Section 6.50.2, “Contents of Xz.”
