10.57. E2fsprogs-1.43.4 N32 Libraries

The E2fsprogs package contains the utilities for handling the ext2 file system. It also supports the ext3 and ext4 journaling file systems.

10.57.1. Installation of E2fsprogs

Change the library directory to lib32: 

sed -i '/libdir.*=.*\/lib/s@/lib@/lib32@g' configure

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: 

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" \
../configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --bindir=/bin \
    --with-root-prefix="" \
    --enable-elf-shlibs \
    --disable-libblkid \
    --disable-libuuid \
    --disable-fsck \
    --disable-uuidd

Compile the libraries: 

make libs

Install the static libraries and headers: 

make install-libs
