Contents 1 Libraries 1.1 Ext2fs Library 1.2 Jpeg library 1.3 How to compile ntfsprogs 1.4 ReiserFS Library 2 How to compile TestDisk 2.1 Standard method 2.2 Static version 2.3 Static compressed binary 3 OS Notes 4 Cross-compilation if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); } Libraries libncurses - Required, TestDisk and PhotoRec use an ncurses interface, so ncurses library and development files must be present. Ext2fs library - Optional, used by TestDisk to list files from ext2/ext3 partition Reiserfs library - Optional, used by TestDisk to list files from reiserfs partition NTFS library - Optional, used by TestDisk to list files from NTFS partition Jpeg library - Optional, used by PhotoRec to improved JPEG recovery rate Ext2fs Library Ext2fs library is usually installed with your OS, so you don't need to compile it yourself. Otherwise get latest version of e2fsprogs at http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net tar xvf e2fsprogs-1.38.tgz cd e2fsprogs-1.38 ./configure --with-cc=gcc make libs make install Jpeg library Libjpeg library is usually installed with your OS, so you don't need to compile it yourself. Otherwise download libjpeg source from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz tar xzf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz cd jpeg-6b ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static make sudo make install Mac OS X 10.3 ships with GNU libtool, albeit under a slightly different name, glibtool. You may have to run ln -s `which glibtool` ./libtool How to compile ntfsprogs Get the latest version of ntfsprogs from http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ tar xzf ntfsprogs-1.13.0.tar.gz cd ntfsprogs-1.13.0 ./configure make libs make install To get a working version under NT 4, use configure --disable-default-device-io-ops because SetFilePointerEx used by win32_io.c is not exported by NT 4 DLL. ReiserFS Library Get progsreiserfs-0.3.1-rc8.tar.gz at http://reiserfs.osdn.org.ua/ tar xzf progsreiserfs-*.tar.gz cd progreiserfs-0.3.1-rc8 ./configure --disable-nls make make install How to compile TestDisk Standard method To compile TestDisk and PhotoRec, run ./configure make You may need to specify parameters to configure, see configure --help. Example: ./configure --with-reiserfs-lib=/home/kmaster/perso/testdisk-5.2/progsreiserfs-0.3.1-rc8/libreiserfs/.libs/ --with-reiserfs-includes=/home/kmaster/perso/testdisk-5.2/progsreiserfs-0.3.1-rc8/include/ --with-ntfs-lib=/home/kmaster/perso/testdisk-5.2/ntfsprogs-1.8.5/libntfs/.libs/ --with-ntfs-includes=/home/kmaster/perso/testdisk-5.2/ntfsprogs-1.8.5/include/ --with-ext2fs-lib=/home/kmaster/perso/testdisk-5.2/e2fsprogs-1.34/lib --with-ext2fs-includes=/home/kmaster/perso/testdisk-5.2/e2fsprogs-1.34/lib Static version If you need to run the binary on systems that lack one of the previous libraries, create a static binary with make static Static compressed binary If you need a small binary for binary distribution, get the UPX packer at http://upx.sourceforge.net/ and run strip src/testdisk src/photorec upx src/testdisk src/photorec Note that Linux UPX needs to decompress program files before running, and it will request some space on /tmp to do this. The running executable must be allowed in this directory (mount -o remount,exec /tmp).
