      1 	To install the second extended file system management programs,
      2 just follow the steps:
      3 
      4 1) Change directory into the top of the e2fsprogs source tree
      5 
      6 2) Create a build directory and cd into it:
      7 
      8 	mkdir build; cd build
      9 
     10 3)  Run the configure script
     11 
     12 	../configure
     13 
     14 	If you wish to turn on ELF shared libraries, add the option
     15 --enable-elf-shlibs.  If you wish to build profiling libraries, add
     16 the option --enable-profile.
     17 
     18 4)  Compile the programs
     19 
     20 	make
     21 
     22 5)   Check to make sure the installation built correctly:
     23 
     24 	make check
     25 
     26 6)  Install the programs
     27 
     28 	Run `make install'
     29 
     30 7)  Install the include files and libraries
     31 
     32 	You can run `make install-libs' to install the include files and
     33 libraries.  Please note that this installation is not needed for the
     34 programs to work.  It is only needed if you expect to develop other
     35 programs using the libraries or if you want to compile other program
     36 using these libraries (like the 4.4BSD dump and restore port).
     37 
     38 8)  Remove any pre-formatted man pages.  
     39 
     40 	Some distributions will have pre-formatted manual pages which
     41 will always be displayed in preference to newer man pages in /usr/man.
     42 If this is the case, you may need to manually remove them in order to
     43 see the correct manual pages.  The shell script in
     44 install-utils/remove_preformat_manpages may be helpful in doing so.
     45 
     46 9)  Make sure your /etc/fstab file is correct.
     47 
     48 	Some distributions install an /etc/fstab which is missing the
     49 fifth and sixth field of filesystem entry, which are the dump
     50 frequency, and the fsck pass number, respectively.  The problem with
     51 this is that the getmntent() library routine interprets those missing
     52 fields as "0", and a pass number of 0 is documented as meaning that
     53 fsck should not check that particular filesystem.  If your entries in
     54 your /etc/fstab file look liks this:
     55 
     56 /dev/hda4       /        ext2        defaults
     57 
     58 you should add "1 1" at the end of each line, so that they look like this:
     59 
     60 /dev/hda4       /        ext2        defaults	1	1
     61 
     62 	There is a script in install-utils/convfstab (donated by
     63 Michael Weller) that may help you correct your /etc/fstab file.
