| 13 | Installation of mtools is now pretty straightforward: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 1. Run ./configure |
| 16 | 2. Run make |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Configuration options: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * Use ./configure --enable-vold to compile mtools to use Solaris' |
| 21 | vold instead of directly accessing the floppy disk |
| 22 | * Use ./configure --disable-xdf to disable support for Xdf disks on Linux |
| 23 | * Use ./configure --enable-new-vold to compile mtools to use the *new* |
| 24 | vold for Solaris. With this, you no longer need precmd=volcheck, and |
| 25 | users don't need to type "eject" before pushing the button. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Further doc can be found in the manpages, and in the texinfo doc. The |
| 28 | texinfo doc contains the same info as the manpages, but is more up to |
| 29 | date. To generate a printable doc, make dvi. To generate an info file, |
| 30 | make info. |
