Compile the package: make Install the package into the cross-tools: make prefix=${CLFS}/cross-tools/${CLFS_TARGET} install Copy only the shared library into the target file system and ensure that its symlink is present so the runtime loader can find it: cp -v ${CLFS}/cross-tools/${CLFS_TARGET}/lib/libz.so.&zlib-version; ${CLFS}/targetfs/lib/ ln -sv libz.so.&zlib-version; ${CLFS}/targetfs/lib/libz.so.1 Installed libraries libz.[a,so] Short Descriptions libz Contains compression and decompression functions used by some programs libz
