How to compile E2FS Library

Get e2fsprogs-1.34.tgz at http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net or on TestDisk web page.

cd testdisk
tar xzf e2fsprogs-1.34.tgz

In e2fsprogs-1.34/lib/ext2fs/flushb.c, add #include <sys/param.h>
Run cd e2fsprogs-1.34; ./configure && make libs

If you want to use another version, don't forget to modify src/Makefile file otherwise TestDisk won't compile.

How to compile ReiserFS Library

Get progsreiserfs-0.3.1-rc8.tar.gz at http://reiserfs.osdn.org.ua/ and run ./configure --disable-nls && make

How to compile ntfsprogs

Get ntfsprogs-1.8.2.tar.gz from http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/

Installation

tar xzf ntfsprogs-1.8.2.tar.gz
cd ntfsprogs-1.8.2

Compilation

bash
./configure && make libs

How to compile TestDisk

To compile TestDisk, run cd src; make linux. TestDisk uses an ncurses interface, so ncurses library and development files must be present. Under a Linux RedHat, you need to install ncurses, ncurses-devel (rpm -Uvh ncurses-*.rpm ncurses-devel-*.rpm).

If you need a small binary for binary distribution, get the UPX packer at http://upx.sourceforge.net/ and run make linuxstatic

To compile e2fsprogs, ntfsprogs and progsreiserfs libraries, you can also run ./compile.sh in TestDisk directory but you need to download the libraries first.
