cpio-2.6

The cpio package contains tools for archiving.

Install cpio by running the following commands:

sed -i -e "s/invalid_arg/argmatch_invalid/" src/mt.c &&
./configure CPIO_MT_PROG=mt --prefix=/usr \
    --bindir=/bin --libexecdir=/tmp \
    --with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt &&
make &&
make install

sed -i -e "s/invalid_arg/argmatch_invalid/" src/mt.c: This command fixes a build problem in the mt program.

CPIO_MT_PROG=mt: This parameter forces the building and installation of the mt program.

--bindir=/bin: This parameter installs cpio to /bin instead of /usr/bin as per FHS guidelines.

--libexecdir=/tmp: This parameter is used so that /usr/libexec is not created.

--with-rmt=/usr/sbin/rmt: This parameter inhibits building the rmt program as it is already installed by the tar package in LFS.

The cpio package contains cpio and mt.
