Installation of Tar
If a user wants to be able to directly use bzip2 files with tar, he can
use the tar
patch avaiable from the LFS FTP site. This patch will add the -y option
to tar which works the same as the -z option to tar (which can be used
for gzip files).
Apply the patch by running the following command:
cd src &&
patch -i ../../gnutarpatch.txt &&
cd ..
Install Tar by running the following commands from the toplevel
directory:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/bin
&&
make &&
make install &&
mv /usr/bin/tar /bin
