INSTALL

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