[SOLVED] installing hfsprogs from source. PB.project?

Hi all,

I've been building and LFS distro and have gotten pretty far. I thought this question might be better suited here. I've scoured the internet to no avail for simple build instructions for hfsprogs.

I realize it was created using Apple Project Builder the precursor to Xcode but I've obtained the debian source tarball. Its all very confusing. In the top directory there is:

Makefile
Makefile
PB.project
and then various sub directories <tool>.tproj

The makefile references pb_makefiles/ but the directory does not exist. I'm assuming it is created with some sort of configure command?

when I just issue the command 'make' I get this output:

Makefile:55: pb_makefiles/aggregate.make
make: *** No rule to make target 'pb_makefiles/aggregate.make'

I'm sure the Pb.project file is the key. How to I go about configuring this build?

The debian folder contains various files and also a directory of patches I'm assuming I need to apply as well.

I'm really lost here. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yep. From the first patch file: https://sources.debian.org/src/hfspr...-Debian.patch/

Create short Makefiles for compiling just the necessary parts for a Debian-based (and possibly other distributions) HFS+ filesystem utilities.

You can apply all of the patches like this:

$ cd /path/to/hfsprogs
$ for i in /path/to/patches/*.patch; do patch -p1 < $i; done
$ make -f Makefile.lnx

HTH

sweet! thanks so much.

Hmmm well now im getting weird build errors.

first was

In file from hfs_endian.c:35
/include/missing.h:9:10 fatal error: bsd/string.h no such file or directory
#include <bsd/string.h>

first I looked at the makefile and got rid of "-D BSD=1" in the CFLAGS line. Then i tried just commenting out the "#include <bsd/string.h> (bad idea probably) when i then got this:

In file included from Scavenger.h:31
                 from hfs_endian.c

SRuntime.h:44:10 fatal error Mactypes.h: no such file or directory

There is a big #IF include block in the SRuntime.h file that if Im reading correctly decides what to include whether its linux or bsd. If i change the #if block so it jjst reads like its linux only, i just get a massive amount of type reference errors when i try to make.

im not really a c programmer, or really a programmer at all. Im just trying to learn all this stuff by doing it the hard way. Any suggestions appreciated!

I really don't think the apple sources will compile on Linux. Try this: https://github.com/Artoria2e5/hfsprogs

On Debian you would need libbsd-dev. For LFS I guess you need to compile the lib: https://libbsd.freedesktop.org/wiki/

thanks all! libbsd-dev was the key.

i actually had artoria package on my first try, they include the debian packages automatically, when i downloaded from the debian source repository i had to download ..orig.tar.gz and debian.tar.gz which had the patches and just moved the debian folder into the orig.tar.gz extracted directory. the artoria package just already has it in the right spot.
