[libvirt PATCH] docs: compiling.html: pass -d to xz to decompress

Posted by Daniel P. Berrangé 5 years, 2 months ago

From: Jonathan Watt <jwatt@jwatt.org>

tar on macOS recognizes XZ compression automatically, but that is
not the case for GNU tar (1.32 at least).  On Fedora 33 the current
instructions result in the following error:

  $ xz -c libvirt-6.9.0.tar.xz | tar xvf -
  tar: Archive is compressed. Use -J option
  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
