Install cpio by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --enable-mt   \
            --with-rmt=/usr/libexec/rmt &&
make &&
makeinfo --html            -o doc/html      doc/cpio.texi &&
makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/cpio.html doc/cpio.texi &&
makeinfo --plaintext       -o doc/cpio.txt  doc/cpio.texi
        If you have texlive-20240312 installed and wish to create PDF or Postscript documentation, issue one or both of the following commands:
make -C doc pdf && make -C doc ps
To test the results, issue: make check.
          Now, as the root user:
        
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/cpio-2.15/html &&
install -v -m644    doc/html/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/cpio-2.15/html &&
install -v -m644    doc/cpio.{html,txt} \
                    /usr/share/doc/cpio-2.15
        
          If you built PDF or Postscript documentation, install it by issuing
          the following commands as the root
          user:
        
install -v -m644 doc/cpio.{pdf,ps,dvi} \
                 /usr/share/doc/cpio-2.15
      
          --enable-mt: This parameter
          forces the building and installation of the mt program.
        
          --with-rmt=/usr/libexec/rmt: This
          parameter inhibits building the rmt program as it is already
          installed by the Tar package in
          LFS.
