Installation of Acl

Prepare Acl for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/acl-2.3.2

Compile the package:

make

The Acl tests must be run on a filesystem that supports access controls. To test the results, issue:

make check

One test named test/cp.test is known to fail because Coreutils is not built with the Acl support yet.

Install the package:

make install
