问题
I have a text file with paths to the list of files I want to compress into a singe archive. How can I pass this file to GZIP so it can create that archive with all files specified in the list?

回答1:
gzip can only handle a single file at a time. You'll need to archive the files using tar first. Tar can do the compression at the same time (using the "z" argument).
tar cfz archive.tar.gz `cat file`
回答2:
Well, in the first place, gzip doesn't compress multiple files into a single one, so you'll first tar. At least the GNU tar I checked has the option
-T, --files-from F get names to extract or create from file F
so I suppose tar cfzvT target.tar.gz sourcelist would work.

gzip only compresses a single file. Use:
tar czf target.tar.gz `cat listoffile`
