6.31. E2fsprogs-1.42.12

6.31.1. Installation of E2fsprogs

First, fix a potential security issue identified upstream:

sed -e '/int.*old_desc_blocks/s/int/blk64_t/' \
    -e '/if (old_desc_blocks/s/super->s_first_meta_bg/desc_blocks/' \
    -i lib/ext2fs/closefs.c

The E2fsprogs documentation recommends that the package be built in a subdirectory of the source tree:

mkdir -v build
cd build

6.31.2. 32-bit Installation

Prepare E2fsprogs for 32-bit compilation:

LIBS=-L/tools/lib32                  \
CFLAGS=-I/tools/include              \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tools/lib32/pkgconfig \
../configure --prefix=/usr           \
             --bindir=/bin           \
             --with-root-prefix=""   \
             --enable-elf-shlibs     \
             --disable-libblkid      \
             --disable-libuuid       \
             --disable-uuidd         \
             --disable-fsck          \
             --libdir=/usr/lib32     \
             CC="gcc -m32"

Compile the package:

make

To set up and run the test suite we need to first link some libraries from /tools/lib32 to a location where the test programs look. To run the tests, issue:

ln -sfv /tools/lib32/lib{blk,uu}id.so.1 lib
make LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tools/lib32 check

One of the E2fsprogs tests will attempt to allocate 256 MB of memory. If you do not have significantly more RAM than this, be sure to enable sufficient swap space for the test. See Section 2.3, “Creating a File System on the Partition” and Section 2.4, “Mounting the New Partition” for details on creating and enabling swap space.

Install the binaries, documentation, and shared libraries:

make install

Install the static libraries and headers:

make install-libs

Make the installed static libraries writable so debugging symbols can be removed later:

chmod -v u+w /usr/lib32/{libcom_err,libe2p,libext2fs,libss}.a

Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform:

rm -fr *

6.31.3. x32 ABI Installation

Prepare E2fsprogs for x32 ABI compilation:

LIBS=-L/tools/libx32                 \
CFLAGS=-I/tools/include              \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tools/libx32/pkgconfig \
../configure --prefix=/usr           \
             --bindir=/bin           \
             --with-root-prefix=""   \
             --enable-elf-shlibs     \
             --disable-libblkid      \
             --disable-libuuid       \
             --disable-uuidd         \
             --disable-fsck          \
             --libdir=/usr/libx32    \
             CC="gcc -mx32"

Compile the package:

make

To set up and run the test suite we need to first link some libraries from /tools/libx32 to a location where the test programs look. To run the tests, issue:

6.31.4. 64-bit Installation

Prepare E2fsprogs for 64-bit compilation:

LIBS=-L/tools/lib                    \
CFLAGS=-I/tools/include              \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tools/lib/pkgconfig \
../configure --prefix=/usr           \
             --bindir=/bin           \
             --with-root-prefix=""   \
             --enable-elf-shlibs     \
             --disable-libblkid      \
             --disable-libuuid       \
             --disable-uuidd         \
             --disable-fsck

To set up and run the test suite we need to first link some libraries from /tools/lib to a location where the test programs look. To run the tests, issue:

chmod -v u+w /usr/lib/{libcom_err,libe2p,libext2fs,libss}.a

This package installs a gzipped .info file but doesn't update the system-wide dir file. Unzip this file and then update the system dir file using the following commands.

gunzip -v /usr/share/info/libext2fs.info.gz
install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir /usr/share/info/libext2fs.info

If desired, create and install some additional documentation by issuing the following commands:

makeinfo -o      doc/com_err.info ../lib/et/com_err.texinfo
install -v -m644 doc/com_err.info /usr/share/info
install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir /usr/share/info/com_err.info
