Details on this package are located in Section 10.14.2, “Contents of E2fsprogs.”
The E2fsprogs package contains the utilities for handling the
ext2 file system. It also supports
the ext3 journaling file system.
The following command adds libcom_err.so to the list of libraries to link
libblkid.so to:
cp -v misc/Makefile.in{,.orig}
sed 's/_BLKID= .*$/& $(LIBCOM_ERR)/' \
misc/Makefile.in.orig > misc/Makefile.in
The E2fsprogs documentation recommends that the package be built in a subdirectory of the source tree:
mkdir -v build cd build
Prepare E2fsprogs for compilation:
../configure --prefix=/tools \
--enable-elf-shlibs --disable-evms --with-cc=${CC} --with-linker=${LD} \
--build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET}
The meaning of the configure options:
--enable-elf-shlibs
This creates the shared libraries which some programs in this package use.
--disable-evms
This disables the building of the Enterprise Volume Management System (EVMS) plugin. This plugin is not up-to-date with the latest EVMS internal interfaces and EVMS is not installed as part of a base CLFS system, so the plugin is not required. See the EVMS website at http://evms.sourceforge.net/ for more information regarding EVMS.
Compile the package:
make
Install the binaries, documentation and shared libraries:
make DESTDIR="${CLFS}" install
Install the static libraries and headers:
make install-libs
Create needed symlinks for a bootable system:
ln -sv /tools/sbin/{fsck.ext2,fsck.ext3,e2fsck} ${CLFS}/sbin
