Prepare

Section titled “Prepare”
  • autoreconf breaks build
  • Upstream recommends building in a separate directory
  • Upstream recommends uuid and blkid from util-linux
  • glaucus uses chattr and lsattr from toybox
  • Depends on texi2dvi

Configure

Section titled “Configure”
  • e2initrd_helper and fsck are enabled by default
  • Patch and configure could be failing due to ../?
  • To get rid of current warnings:
    • Try -j1 for both build and install
    • Try MKDIR_P=mkdir -p, because install-sh is buggy and only creates one directory according to Chimera
  • Prevent the installation of udev, cron.d, and systemd directories using --without-udev-rules-dir/--without-crond-dir/--without-systemd-unit-dir
  • It is safe to pass --disable-tls as tls is only used in the bundled libuuid which we disable as we prefer util-linux’s version

Package

Section titled “Package”
  • install-libs is identical to install-libs-recursive and both install static libraries
  • install-strip-libs-recursive also installs static libraries and headers
  • install-shlibs-libs-recursive is identical to install-shlibs-strip-libs-recursive but the latter is stripped and smaller
  • install-progs-recursive is identical to install-strip-progs-recursive but the latter is stripped and smaller
  • install-strip strips binaries, shared libraries and does not install static libraries; so it is like install-strip-progs-recursive and install-shlibs-strip-libs-recursive combined
  • Configure /etc/mke2fs.conf
