minizip from zlib-1.3.1

Introduction to minizip

The minizip package provides a library for mini zip and unzip, based on Zlib.

Installation of minizip

[Note]

Note

You must unpack the downloaded zlib-1.3.1.tar.gz tarball and navigate to the extracted source directory. This package is inside that source.

Install minizip by running the following commands: 

cd contrib/minizip &&

mv Makefile{,.orig} &&
autoreconf -fi      &&

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
rm -vf /usr/include/minizip/crypt.h

Command Explanations

mv Makefile{,.orig}; autoconf -fi: These commands remove the pregenerated Makefile and generate a new one.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

rm -vf /usr/include/minizip/crypt.h: This command deletes a C header that conflicts with another one, which can cause build issues for other packages.
