1 | The common case |
2 | ||
3 | ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make | |

5 | If something fails read the last lines. Typical reason to |
6 | fail is a missing dependency, such as libtool or gettext. | |
7 | ||
8 | make install-strip | |
9 | ||
10 | Note that on the production systems it is strongly recommended to use | |
11 | "make install-strip" to install binaries and libraries. The result | |
12 | from the standard "make install" may produce large binaries with | |
13 | unnecessary symbols. | |

15 | Autotools | |
16 | ||
17 | `./autogen.sh' generates all files needed to compile | |
18 | and install the code (run it after checkout from git) | |
19 | ||
20 | `make distclean' removes all unnecessary files, but the | |
21 | code can still be recompiled with "./configure; make" | |
22 | ||
23 | `make dist-gzip' (or -bzip2) creates a tarball that can | |
24 | be configured and compiled without running `./autogen.sh' | |
25 | ||
26 | Compiling | |
27 | ||
28 | Use SUID_CFLAGS and SUID_LDFLAGS when you want to define | |
29 | special compiler options for typical suid programs, for | |
30 | example: | |
31 | ||
32 | ./configure SUID_CFLAGS="-fpie" SUID_LDFLAGS="-pie" | |
33 | ||
34 | The SUID_* feature is currently supported for chfn, chsh, | |
b5b8805f | 35 | newgrp, su, write, mount, and umount. |

37 | Use DAEMON_CFLAGS and DAEMON_LDFLAGS when you want to define |
38 | special compiler options for daemons; supported for uuidd. | |
22a3b8c9 | 39 | |
03d00d49 KZ |
40 | Use SOLIB_CFLAGS and SOLIB_LDFLAGS when you want to define |
41 | special compiler options for shared libraries; supported for | |
42 | libmount, libblkid and libuuid. | |

44 | FIXME: add notes about klib and uClib. | |

47 | Compile certain portion | |
48 | ||
49 | See ./configure --help and use --disable-* and --enable-* options. | |
50 | ||
51 | It's also possible to disable all the programs and enable only wanted. | |
52 | For example: | |
2bb3aa36 | 53 | |
e236f61d KZ |
54 | ./configure --disable-all-programs --enable-fallocate |
55 | ||
56 | Note that the configure script tracks dependencies between libs and | |
57 | tools. Always see warning messages and follow error messages if any | |
58 | dependence is necessary. For example to compile mount(8) you need also | |
59 | libmount, libblkid and libuuid: | |
60 | ||
61 | ./configure --disable-all-programs --enable-mount --enable-libmount \ | |
62 | --enable-libblkid --enable-libuuid | |
63 | ||
64 | ||

65 | Static linking |
66 | ||
67 | Use --enable-static-programs[=LIST] configure option when | |
68 | you want to use statically linked programs. | |
69 | ||
70 | Note, mount(8) uses get{pw,gr}nam() and getpwuid() | |
71 | functions for translation from username and groupname to | |
72 | UID and GID. These functions could be implemented by | |
73 | dynamically loaded independent modules (NSS) in your libc | |
74 | (e.g. glibc). These modules are not statically linked to | |
75 | mount(8) and mount.static is still using dlopen() like | |
76 | dynamically linked version. | |
77 | ||
78 | The translation won't work in environment where NSS | |
79 | modules are not installed. | |
80 | ||
81 | For example normal system (NSS modules are available): | |
82 | ||
83 | # ./mount.static -v -f -n -ouid=kzak /mnt/foo | |
84 | LABEL=/mnt/foo on /mnt/foo type vfat (rw,uid=500) | |
85 | ^^^^^^^ | |
86 | and without NSS modules: | |
87 | ||
88 | # chroot . ./mount.static -v -f -n -ouid=kzak /mnt/win | |
89 | LABEL=/mnt/win on /mnt/win type vfat (rw,uid=kzak) | |
90 | ^^^^^^^^ |
