The XZ-Utils package contains programs for compressing and decompressing files. Compressing text files with XZ-Utils yields a much better compression percentage than with the traditional gzip.
Prepare XZ-Utils for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue: make
check.
Install the programs:
make pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig install
Move the xz binary, and several
symlinks that point to it, into the /bin directory:
mv -v /usr/bin/{xz,lzma,lzcat,unlzma,unxz,xzcat} /bin
