Hello Brian,

it seems like the header linux/ext2_fs.h is missing on your build system:

fdmount.c:25:10: fatal error: linux/ext2_fs.h: No such file or directory

You can check if it is there with:

|ls -l /usr/include/linux/ext2_fs.h|

|If it isn't, installing this package should solve the problem:|

||sudo apt-get install e2fslibs-dev||

||It might be necessary to re-run ./configure afterwards, if it depends on the existence of this package. ||

Hello, all:

??? I went to put together my first run of fdutils. I entered "./configure", all went well. Using "make" went through several stages, then bombed out with a fatal error message, posted at the end of this message.

??? I am using an Ubuntu Studio 18.04 host system, all is up to date with it. I followed the trail, installing (via apt-get) bison, flex, and fdutils. I am not certain how to get a version level on "mtools".

??? At this point, there is only a broken make sequence, and it will go no further until I find out what is causing it. Header files not included? Environment variables not set? I am not certain.

??? The message:

fdmount.c:25:10: fatal error: linux/ext2_fs.h: No such file or directory ?#include <linux/ext2_fs.h> ????????? ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. <builtin>: recipe for target 'fdmount' failed make[1]: *** [fdmount] Error 1 rm enh_options.o measure.o calc-format.o oldfdprm.o parse.o driveprm.o misc.o lex.mediaprm.o lex.driveprm.o printfdprm.o skews.o lex.mediaprm.c mediaprm.o lex.driveprm.c make[1]: Leaving directory '/sdl1/bharts/midi-stuff/Ensoniq/SQ80/dox/utils/FD5-5/fdutils-5.5/src' Makefile:8: recipe for target 'compile' failed make: *** [compile] Error 2 =========================

(additional efforts to track down internal functions, e.g., fdmount, and compile separately resulted in):

Ideas, anyone?
