Details on this package are located in Section 6.59.3, “Contents of Util-linux.”
The Util-linux package contains miscellaneous utility programs. Among them are utilities for handling file systems, consoles, partitions, and messages.
Util-linux does not use the freshly installed headers and libraries from the /tools directory by default. This is fixed by altering the configure script:
sed -i 's@/usr/include@/tools/include@g' configure
Prepare Util-linux for compilation:
./configure
Compile some support routines:
make -C lib
Only a few of the utilities contained in this package need to be built:
make -C mount mount umount make -C text-utils more
This package does not come with a test suite.
Copy these programs to the temporary tools directory:
cp mount/{,u}mount text-utils/more /tools/bin
