I am trying to compile mc with ext2undel - apparently default configuration does not include ext2 undelete feature.
Now, file "/usr/include/linux/ext2_fs.h" does exist, and I also installed e2fslibs, e2fslibs-dev in order to use option "--with-ext2undel=/usr/lib/libext2fs.a" for mc compilation but, the result is same - ... checking linux/ext2_fs.h usability... no checking linux/ext2_fs.h presence... no checking for linux/ext2_fs.h... no configure: not using ext2fs file recovery code ...
Can anybody point me what exactly does mc require in order to include this feature ?
Thank you, Florentin
This is terrible, because I have been there, but I cannot recall what I installed to get that to work. My config has:
checking linux/ext2_fs.h usability... yes checking linux/ext2_fs.h presence... yes checking for linux/ext2_fs.h... yes checking for ext2fs/ext2fs.h... yes checking for ext2_ino_t... yes configure: using ext2fs file recovery code
Try this: see if /usr/include/linux actually contains ext2_fs.h and do a dpkg -L e2fslibs-dev to see where he puts that.
Packages still is down and regardless of the good advice of how else to do that I have troubles.
I find it too bad that no Debian package contains that undelete function: I keep a special mc in /root just with that code in it! And then use the Debian package to work with.
The other thing that pains me is to keep good records, I have notebooks, I have HD files on activities, but what I want is a database where I can enter "ext2_fs.h" and bang, the date of what I did and what the results were: does not exist. I have been down this path at least 3 times with mc: result: zip :-(
