Installation of Gzip
Prepare Gzip for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr
The gzexe script has the location of the
gzip binary hard-wired into it. Because we later change
the location of the binary, the following command assures that the new
location gets placed into the script:
cp gzexe.in{,.backup}
sed 's%"BINDIR"%/bin%' gzexe.in.backup > gzexe.in
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
And move the programs to the /bin directory:
mv /usr/bin/gzip /bin
rm /usr/bin/{gunzip,zcat}
ln -s gzip /bin/gunzip
ln -s gzip /bin/zcat
ln -s gunzip /bin/uncompress
