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 ELF shared libraries, add the option |
| 15 |
--enable-elf-shlibs. If you wish to build profiling libraries, add |
| 16 |
the option --enable-profile. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
4) Compile the programs |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
make |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
5) Check to make sure the installation built correctly: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
make check |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
6) Install the programs |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Run `make install' |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
7) Install the include files and libraries |
| 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 |
| 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 |
|
| 38 |
8) Remove any pre-formatted man pages. |
| 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. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
9) Make sure your /etc/fstab file is correct. |
| 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 |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
There is a script in install-utils/convfstab (donated by |
| 63 |
Michael Weller) that may help you correct your /etc/fstab file. |
