Can't compile Zip2.3
 

I've searched around google for this, as well as on these forums, but haven't had any lock.

It's the info-zip package available here: ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/src/zip23.tar.gz

I gzip -d and tar -xvf it. Move into the source directory and do the following:

make -f unix/Makefile prefix=/usr generic_gcc

(I've also tried just generic when that didn't work. It failed as well.)

Here's the output:

Any ideas how I could fix this? Thanks.

Is there a README or INSTALL file in the source directory? Is the make command the first thing you are supposed to do or do you have to configure first?

Nah, no configure command unfortunately. Things would be so much easier that way :-D.

The INSTALL file agrees with the instructions in the BLFS book (which I was using originally for install instructions).

*baffled*

I am baffled as well. The output from the make command is like hieroglyphics to me. Sorry.

If I remeber correctly, you should copy all the files in the unix directory in the zip-2.3 directory and then run make from there
