parted: Compiling

 
 1.5 Building GNU Parted
 =======================
 
 If you want to compile GNU Parted, this is generally done with:
 
      $ ./configure
      $ make
 
   However, there are a few options for 'configure':
 
 '--without-readline'
      turns off use of readline.  This is useful for making rescue disks,
      etc., where few libraries are available.
 
 '--disable-debug'
      don't include assertions
 
 '--disable-dynamic-loading'
      disables dynamic loading of some libraries (only libreiserfs for
      now, although we hope to expand this).  Dynamic loading is useful
      because it allows you to reuse libparted shared libraries even when
      you don't know if some libraries will be available.  It has a small
      overhead (mainly linking with libdl), so it may be useful to
      disable it on bootdisks if you don't need the flexibility.
 
 '--disable-nls'
      turns off native language support.  This is useful for use with old
      versions of glibc, or a trimmed down version of glibc suitable for
      rescue disks.
 
 '--disable-shared'
      turns off shared libraries.  This may be necessary for use with old
      versions of GNU libc, if you get a compile error about a "spilled
      register".  Also useful for boot/rescue disks.
 
 '--enable-discover-only'
      support only reading/probing (reduces size considerably)
 
 '--enable-mtrace'
      enable malloc() debugging
 
 '--enable-read-only'
      disable writing (for debugging)
 
 1.5.1 Introduction
 ------------------
 
 If you want to run GNU Parted on a machine without GNU/Linux installed,
 or you want to modify a root or boot partition, use GParted Live:
