6.25.1. Installation of Attr
Prepare Attr for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr
--bindir=/bin
--disable-static
--sysconfdir=/etc
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/attr-2.4.48
./configure --prefix=/usr
--bindir=/bin
--disable-static
--sysconfdir=/etc
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/attr-2.4.48
Compile the package:
make
make
The tests need to be run on a filesystem that supports extended attributes such as the ext2, ext3, or ext4 filesystems. To test the results, issue:
make check
make check
Install the package:
make install
make install
The shared library needs to be moved to /lib, and as a result the .so file in /usr/lib will need to be recreated:
mv -v /usr/lib/libattr.so.* /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libattr.so) /usr/lib/libattr.so
mv -v /usr/lib/libattr.so.* /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libattr.so) /usr/lib/libattr.so
