<title>Installation of <application>Zip</application></title>

<para>Install <application>Zip</application> by running the following 
commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>sed -i -e 's@$(INSTALL) man/zip.1@$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) man/zip.1@' \
    unix/Makefile &amp;&amp;
make prefix=/usr -f unix/Makefile generic_gcc</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make prefix=/usr -f unix/Makefile install</command></userinput></screen>

<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><command>sed -i -e ... unix/Makefile</command>: The 
<filename>Makefile</filename> has a bug which causes the installation to fail. 
This command fixes the problem.</para>

<para><command>make prefix=/usr -f unix/Makefile generic_gcc</command>: This 
command overrides the <varname>prefix</varname> variable that is set to
<filename class='directory'>/usr/local</filename> in the
<filename>unix/Makefile</filename> which is used as a 
<command>Makefile</command> and builds the executables for a Linux system. The 
alternatives to 'generic_gcc' can be seen with a 
<command>make -f unix/Makefile list</command> command.</para>
