Hi Rugxulo, I could fork the mmeeks/ext2tools on GitHub and add my patches to it. Or do you have a different suggestion? On GitHub I could add you and maybe additional developers to be able to submit patches as well.
Still a bit puzzled that my instructions did not work for you. What is the error message that you get? I could also bundle the binaries with Qemu to allow you to replicate what I did to test. All my Linux distros use ext4 so I could not test it any different. Also, the old version that needed go32 did have e2cd and e2pwd. So you currently cannot move around on the ext3 disk I think. You can just copy files and use cat. I still feel one should use mmeeks/ext2tools though since it compiles with current djgpp. Georg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rugxulo" <rugx...@gmail.com> To: "Technical discussion and questions for FreeDOS developers." <freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2015 11:08 PM Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS > Hi, > > On Sun, Dec 6, 2015 at 5:20 AM, Georg Potthast <mail...@georgpotthast.de> > wrote: >> >> I did compile mmeeks/ext2tools and they seem to work doing a quick test. >> >> Instructions for compiling: >> - download a zip archive from github and unpack into ext2tools (rename >> ext2tools-master) >> - use djgpp (set the required environment variables etc.) >> patch the mmeeks/ext2tools sources a bit: >> - add "int errno;" to ep2\ep2.h >> - comment out line 129 in ext2fs\llseek.c >> - copy ext2_fs.h into the ext2tools\src directory (or correct the >> Makefile) > > I was unable to reproduce your success, thus even with your advice, it > still wouldn't compile for me.
