I had a frustrating enough time getting it to build on Ubuntu and Debian systems a while back (not xfstests' fault; sometimes the distro doesn't ship all of the header files or have recent enough libraries) that I created xfstests-bld which does a hermetic build of xfstests. That way, it doesn't depend on anything getting shipped by the distribution. It's also useful if you are running in a very restrictive run-time environment, such as what you might find in a highly opimized cloud data center, and you can't depend on any shared libraries, etc. Or if you need to do a build for an embedded platform where again, you can't depend on anything getting provided by the distribution. Anyway, give it a try and see if it helps, git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/xfstests-bld.git If you have any problems, let me know! - Ted
