The Tar package provides the ability to create tar archives as well as perform various other kinds of archive manipulation. Tar can be used on previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or to update or list files which were already stored.
Prepare Tar for compilation:
FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 \
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/bin
The meaning of the configure option:
FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1
This forces the test for mknod
to be run as root. It is generally considered dangerous to
run this test as the root user, but as it is being run on a
system that has only been partially built, overriding it is
OK.
Compile the package:
make
To test the results (about 3 SBU), issue:
make check
One test, capabilities: binary store/restore, is known to fail.
Install the package:
make install make -C doc install-html docdir=/usr/share/doc/tar-1.32
