<title>Installation of E2fsprogs</title>

<para>It is recommended to build E2fsprogs outside of the
source tree:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>mkdir ../e2fsprogs-build &amp;&amp;
cd ../e2fsprogs-build</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Prepare E2fsprogs to be compiled:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>../e2fsprogs-&e2fsprogs-version;/configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" \
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--enable-elf-shlibs</userinput></screen></para>

<para>The meaning of the configure options are:</para>

<itemizedlist>

<listitem><para><userinput>--with-root-prefix=""</userinput>: Certain
programs (such as the e2fsck program) are considered essential programs.
When, for example, <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> isn't
mounted, these essential program have to be available. They belong in
directories like <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
<filename class="directory">/sbin</filename>. If this option isn't passed
to E2fsprogs's configure, the programs are placed in the
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename> directory, which is not what we
want.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><userinput>--enable-elf-shlibs</userinput>: This creates
the shared libraries which some programs in this package make use
of.</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

<para>Continue with compiling the package:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Begin installing the package:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Install the shared libraries:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make install-libs</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Update the <filename>/usr/share/info/dir</filename> file to
include E2fsprogs' info pages in the index:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>install-info /usr/share/info/libext2fs.info /usr/share/info/dir</userinput></screen></para>
