Details on this package are located in Section 6.41.2, “Contents of Gzip.”
The Gzip package contains programs for compressing and decompressing files.
The version of the function “futimens” used by Gzip is incompatible with the version that current Glibc provides, so we'll rename the function:
for file in gzip.c lib/utimens.{c,h} ; do \
cp -v $file{,.orig}
sed 's/futimens/gl_&/' $file.orig > $file
done
Prepare Gzip 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 Gzip test suite anyway, issue the following command:
make check
Install the package:
make install
