| 50e1e10f | 1 | To install the second extended file system management programs, |
| 3839e657 TT |
2 | just follow the steps: |
| 3 | ||
| 50e1e10f | 4 | 1) Change directory into the top of the e2fsprogs source tree |
| 3839e657 | 5 | |
| 50e1e10f | 6 | 2) Create a build directory and cd into it: |
| 3839e657 | 7 | |
| 50e1e10f | 8 | mkdir build; cd build |
| 3839e657 | 9 | |
| 50e1e10f | 10 | 3) Run the configure script |
| 3839e657 | 11 | |
| 50e1e10f | 12 | ../configure |
| 3839e657 | 13 | |
| 2b5901d9 TT |
14 | If you wish to turn on ELF shared libraries, add the option |
| 15 | --enable-elf-shlibs. If you wish to build profiling libraries, add | |
| 16 | the option --enable-profile. | |
| 50e1e10f TT |
17 | |
| 18 | 4) Compile the programs | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | make | |
| 21 | ||
| 5c576477 TT |
22 | 5) Check to make sure the installation built correctly: |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | make check | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | 6) Install the programs | |
| 3839e657 TT |
27 | |
| 28 | Run `make install' | |
| 29 | ||
| 5c576477 | 30 | 7) Install the include files and libraries |
| 3839e657 TT |
31 | |
| 32 | You can run `make install-libs' to install the include files and | |
| 33 | libraries. Please note that this installation is not needed for the | |
| 34 | programs to work. It is only needed if you expect to develop other | |
| 6f4a1097 TT |
35 | programs using the libraries or if you want to compile other program |
| 36 | using these libraries (like the 4.4BSD dump and restore port). | |
| 37 | ||
| 5c576477 | 38 | 8) Remove any pre-formatted man pages. |
| 50e1e10f TT |
39 | |
| 40 | Some distributions will have pre-formatted manual pages which | |
| 41 | will always be displayed in preference to newer man pages in /usr/man. | |
| 42 | If this is the case, you may need to manually remove them in order to | |
| 43 | see the correct manual pages. The shell script in | |
| 44 | install-utils/remove_preformat_manpages may be helpful in doing so. | |
| 6f4a1097 | 45 | |
| 5c576477 | 46 | 9) Make sure your /etc/fstab file is correct. |
| 6f4a1097 TT |
47 | |
| 48 | Some distributions install an /etc/fstab which is missing the | |
| 49 | fifth and sixth field of filesystem entry, which are the dump | |
| 50 | frequency, and the fsck pass number, respectively. The problem with | |
| 51 | this is that the getmntent() library routine interprets those missing | |
| 52 | fields as "0", and a pass number of 0 is documented as meaning that | |
| 53 | fsck should not check that particular filesystem. If your entries in | |
| 54 | your /etc/fstab file look liks this: | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | you should add "1 1" at the end of each line, so that they look like this: | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults 1 1 | |
| 3839e657 | 61 | |
| 50e1e10f | 62 | There is a script in install-utils/convfstab (donated by |
| 6f4a1097 | 63 | Michael Weller) that may help you correct your /etc/fstab file. |
