Getting Started

Where do I get the latest version of e2fsprogs?

The latest version of e2fsprogs can be found at Soureforge or at kernel.org.

How do I build e2fsprogs?

The INSTALL file in the top of the source tree gives more detailed information, but e2fsprogs uses a standard configure script, so the standard "./configure; make" will build the e2fsprogs binaries. Note that if you wish to build the ELF shared libraries, you need to add the "--enable-elf-shlibs" option to the configure invocation.
