vmfs-tools | Originally loosely based on http : //code

To get a full build of vmfs-tools, you need the following prerequisites: - gcc - GNU make - libuuid’s development files - pkg-config - libfuse’s development files - asciidoc - xsltproc - docbook-xsl. From the above list, only the first three are strictly required. The lack of libfuse’s development files will result in the vmfs-fuse program not being built. The lack of asciidoc, xsltproc or docbook-xsl will result in no manual pages (though you can still look at the .txt files within the source tarball). Building vmfs-tools should be as simple as running make' or `gmake, depending on how GNU make’s binary is named on your system. To install vmfs-tools, just run ‘make install’ (or ‘gmake install’). The install location for the binaries is $prefix/sbin, $prefix/share/man for the manual pages, where $prefix is /usr/local by default. If you wish to install to some other place, you can override $prefix with the command ‘./configure --prefix=/some/where’.
