Re: [bug-fdisk] Problem with building Fdisk

[Christian]

Hi George, 
        Sorry for the delay, I had many problems with my computer then I read
this message very late.

You have completed your change?

However GNU fdisk depends on libparted, so you need to install libparted
headers and libraries to compile GNU fdisk source code. If you have not
installed libparted, you can download the package here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/

Obviously you also need the packages: mercurial, autoconf and automake.

Here is how we configure an compile GNU fdisk from repository source
code:

        address@hidden/$ hg clone 'https://bitbucket.org/skypher/fdisk'
        address@hidden/$ cd fdisk
        address@hidden/$ autoreconf --install --force
        address@hidden/$ ./configure --with-gnu-ext
        checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
        checking whether build environment is sane... yes
        checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
        checking for gawk... gawk
        ...
        checking for parted/parted.h... (cached) yes
        checking for uuid_generate in -luuid... yes
        checking for ped_device_read in -lparted... yes
        checking for libparted - version >= 1.7.0... 2.2.0 yes
        checking for ped_free in libparted... no
        ...
        address@hidden/$ make
 
The warning about `gt_INTL_MACOSX' depends on gnulib, but I never get
this warning using autoreconf. Please try in this way and let us know if
you still have problems.

Christian.
