| More complete build documentation is available on the libarchive |
| Wiki: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki |
| |
| On most Unix-like systems, you should be able to install libarchive, |
| bsdtar, and bsdcpio using the following common steps: |
| ./configure |
| make |
| make install |
| |
| If you need to customize the target directories or otherwise adjust |
| the build setting, use |
| ./configure --help |
| to list the configure options. |
| |
| If you are developing libarchive and need to update the |
| configure script and other build files: |
| /bin/sh build/autogen.sh |
| |
| To create a distribution, please use the 'distcheck' target: |
| /bin/sh build/autogen.sh && ./configure && make distcheck |
| |
| On Unix-like and non-Unix-like systems, use the "cmake" utility (available from |
| http://cmake.org/) to generate suitable build files for your platform. |
| Cmake requires the name of the directory containing CmakeLists.txt and |
| the "generator" to use for your build environment. For example, to |
| build with Xcode on Mac OS, you can use the following command: |
| cmake -G "Xcode" ~/libarchive-download-dir/ |
| The result will be appropriate makefiles, solution files, or project |
| files that can be used with the corresponding development tool. |
| The default on Unix-like systems is to generate Makefiles, so you |
| can also use cmake instead of the configure script: |
| cmake ~/libarchive-download-dir/ |
| make |
| make install |
| See the libarchive Wiki or the cmake site for further documentation. |
