Somehow the newlines in the commands I mentioned got removed which is making it clumsy. Please find the commands as:
CFLAGS := -gdwarf-2 gunzip gzip-1.8.tar.gz && tar -xf gzip-1.8.tar export CFLAGS ./configure --prefix=<some-dir> make all make install -----Original Message----- From: Sarthak Jain Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2017 2:34 PM To: 'Jim Meyering' <j...@meyering.net> Cc: 26...@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: RE: bug#26016: Regarding how to link gzip Hi, We have followed the following shell commands- CFLAGS := -gdwarf-2 gunzip gzip-1.8.tar.gz && tar -xf gzip-1.8.tar export CFLAGS ./configure --prefix=<some-dir> make all make install These are the commands we have executed.

We may be able to help, but only if you first tell us more about your problem: - what precise commands you ran (starting from the pristine unpacked gzip-1.8 tarball) - what output they produced - describe your system, i.e., Fedora 25, Solaris 11, Debian unstable, etc.
