Introduction to Cpio

Project Homepage: Unknown

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure CPIO_MT_PROG=mt --prefix=/usr \
    --bindir=/bin --libexecdir=/tmp \
    --with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt &&
make

Install the package

make install

Command Explanations

CPIO_MT_PROG=mt: This causes mt to be included in the build.

--bindir=/bin: This makes it so that cpio is put in /bin instead of /usr/bin. This is done to match the FHS.

--libexecdir=/tmp: This prevents the creation of /usr/libexec.

--with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt: This parameter prevents rmt from being built. It was already installed with the Tar package.

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.
