<para>Zlib has a security vulnerability currently being addressed upstream. The
following patch fixes the problem:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&zlib-security_fix-patch;</userinput></screen>

<note><para>Zlib is known to build its shared library incorrectly if
<envar>CFLAGS</envar> is specified in the environment. If using a 
specified <envar>CFLAGS</envar>
variable, be sure to add the <parameter>-fPIC</parameter> directive to
the <envar>CFLAGS</envar> variable for the duration of the
configure command below, then remove it afterwards.</para></note>

<para>Prepare Zlib for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --shared --libdir=/lib</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>To test the results, issue:
<userinput>make check</userinput>.</para>

<para>Install the shared library:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

<para>The previous command installed a <filename
class="extension">.so</filename> file in <filename
class="directory">/lib</filename>. We will remove it and relink it into
<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>:</para>

<screen><userinput>rm /lib/libz.so
ln -sf ../../lib/libz.so.&zlib-version; /usr/lib/libz.so</userinput></screen>

<para>Build the static library:</para>

<screen><userinput>make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr
make</userinput></screen>

<para>To test the results again, issue:
<userinput>make check</userinput>.</para>

<para>Install the static library:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

<para>Fix the permissions on the static library:</para>

<screen><userinput>chmod 644 /usr/lib/libz.a</userinput></screen>
