Odd Reiser4 Compilation Question

Odd Reiser4 Compilation Question

[Can Sar]

Hi,

I am trying to install the Reiser4 tools (mainly mkfs.reiser4 and 
fsck.reiser4) in an alternative directory and because there is still so 
very little documentation on Reiser4 available, I'm having some major 
difficulties. I've been working on this for a few hours without too 
much success. Is there some simple flag I can change in order to make 
this work?

Thank you so very much for your help,
Can Sar

reiser4progs-1.0.4.tar.gz comes with a GNU configure script:

$ ./configure --help | grep -A5 "Installation directories"
Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

so if you type

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/alternative_directory

the files should show up under this very directory. does it not work? any
error messages you want to share then?

thanks,
Christian.

PS: just tried it by myslf: be sure to get libaal too:
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/libaal-1.0.4.tar.gz
or else "configure" will complain....
