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. Please find the attached output of './configure'. Our build machine is (x86_64 SuSE10SP4) Thanks Sarthak -----Original Message----- From: meyer...@gmail.com [mailto:meyer...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Jim Meyering Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2017 9:09 AM To: Sarthak Jain <sarthak.j...@microfocus.com> Cc: 26...@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: Re: bug#26016: Regarding how to link gzip tags 26016 moreinfo done On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 4:07 AM, Sarthak Jain <sarthak.j...@microfocus.com> wrote: > We are using gzip library in our product and I was upgrading the library to > the latest version 1.8.

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.
