If you want to be able to directly use bzip2 files with tar, you can use the tar patch available from the LFS FTP site. This patch will add the -j option to tar which works the same as the -z option to tar (which can be used for gzip files).
Apply the patch by running the following command:
patch -Np1 -i ../tar-1.13.patch |
Install Tar by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/bin --bindir=/bin && make && make install |
