Install popt by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../popt_1.7-5.diff &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
cp configure.in configure.ac &&
touch configure.in configure.ac &&
make

Now, as the root user:

make install

cp configure.in configure.ac: Because configure.in is updated with the patch, this file is needed for make to work properly.

touch configure.in configure.ac: Ensure file timestamps are the same.
