Getting Started

Where do I get the latest version of e2fsprogs?

The latest version of e2fsprogs can be found at Sourceforage using the URL http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2406&package_id=2374 or at ftp.kernel.org using the URL ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs.

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.
