As well, here in the project Readme:
"For more information on building and installing lbzip2 see the INSTALL file."
But there is no INSTALL file in the project.
Per the discussion at Issue #26 it looks like the lbzip2.org domain name lapsed and was reregistered by a spammer, who has put an impostor website in place. The links to the distribution source code tarballs (which include the INSTALL
file, the configure
script, etc.) are now missing. In fact, the official tarballs themselves seem to be missing. Probably the only way of getting them in the meantime is to extract them from the source packages of a downstream distributor. Alternatively, you could use my fork of this repository which includes signed, buildable source releases for v2.5 that fix the build problems of Issue #22.
On the website, in DOWNLOAD section, the SOURCE CODE subsection says:
1) The source code contains no such INSTALL file. 2) After "the following sequence:", no sequence is provided 3) In the source code tarball, the bootstrap file mentions how to boostrap the application, but it's not made clear what needs to be done once everything is boostrapped to finish building/installing the package.
As well, directly above that, the site links to the source code are missing. "You can download source tarball of the latest released version here: lbzip2-2.5.tar.gz, or in bz2 format: lbzip2-2.5.tar.bz2. Downloadable tarballs of older releases are listed at the botton of this page."
Thanks for the hard work.
