@Andrew Zajac
Thank you for the link, it's interesting.
i know about "make install" but here it contains call to a "install" command.

@Antonio

Thank you very much !!

I'm not yet a power user on linux, but trying to get stronger. on the Synology NAS, I just followed tutos on how to add extra softwares on it, begining by bootstrap the "ipkg" program and then use it with the repository : http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-x07/cross/unstable to install new functions.

In this repository, there is coreutils 7.5-1... but i'm not sure it's a good choice on my NAS to install it, because it replaces lots of internal commands.

As you said the '-p' is for timestamps, then i've edited the Makefile and removed it. The install-sh from 'make' did well the job :-)

now i'm trying to use ddrescue...

@all
On my first use of it ("ddrescue -n /dev/hdc /dev/hdb logfile"), a write error occured on the target disk and then the system droped it (sdb disapeared)... I'll investigate more this weekend.
How is it possible there is still write error on my brand new Barracuda ES2, i've already filled all sectors in a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb  bs=1M conv=noerror" pass...

Hi !

I'm trying to install ddrescue on a NAS Synology DS207+ (ARM processor).
I managed to install 'ipkg' and then 'gcc' and other cool stuffs
then from source I compiled and installed 'Make'
but I can't find how to install the "install" command (used by the Makefile), and you can imagine how it is difficult to find info on search engines regarding the "linux install command"...
in the sources of 'Make' i found an 'install-sh' script shell but it doesn't work for ddrescue because it doens't know the '-p' argument...

can someone help me ?

for exemple by telling me what does "install --help" is giving you (especially about the -p argument).
Or how can i install this command ?

thanks in advance,
