   1 dosfstools consists of the programs mkfs.fat, fsck.fat and fatlabel to create,
   2 check and label file systems of the FAT family.  The dosfstools are licensed
   3 under the GNU GPL version 3 or later. See the file COPYING for details.

   6 ### Build Requirements
   7
   8 dosfstools recommends libudev. It is used in mkfs.fat to collect additional
   9 information about the device to format in order to refuse potentially unsafe
  10 operations without additional confirmation.

  13 ### Installing
  14
  15 dosfstools are built using an autoconf/automake system, so the standard method
  16 applies:
  17
  18   ./configure
  19   make
  20   make install
  21
  22 You need to have superuser privileges in order to install into the standard
  23 system wide locations.
  24
  25 The ./configure script has an option --enable-compat-symlinks that will
  26 configure the build to symlink older names of the tools to the current ones on
  27 installation. These are dosfsck, fsck.msdos and fsck.vfat for fsck.fat, mkdosfs,
  28 mkfs.msdos and mkfs.vfat for mkfs.fat and dosfslabel for fatlabel.

  31 ### Building from the VCS repository
  32
  33 If you are working directly from a git clone of the official dosfstools
  34 repository, you will find that you can not run "./configure" straight away
  35 because it, like other autogenerated files for the build system, is not included
  36 in the repository.
  37
  38 First, autoconf and automake have to be installed.  Then you can run
  39 "autoreconf -i" to generate all the required files.
