<para>It is recommended that E2fsprogs be built in a subdirectory of the source tree:
</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir -v build

<para>Prepare E2fsprogs for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>../configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" \

<listitem><para>Certain programs (such as the <command>e2fsck</command> program)
are considered essential programs.  When, for example, <filename
class="directory">/usr</filename> is not mounted, these programs still need
to be available. They belong in directories like <filename
class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
class="directory">/sbin</filename>. If this option is not passed to E2fsprogs'
configure, the programs are installed into the <filename

<listitem><para>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 LFS system, so the plugin is not required. See the EVMS
website at <ulink url="http://evms.sourceforge.net/"/> for more
information regarding EVMS.</para></listitem>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<para>To test the results, issue:
<userinput>make check</userinput>.</para>
