I worked with 1.42.6. Download it and extract.
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs/v1.42.6/e2fsprogs-1.42.6.tar.bz2 tar -jxvvf e2fsprogs-1.42.6.tar.bz2 cd e2fsprogs-1.42.6 mkdir ~/e2progs ./configure --prefix=/home/droidzone/e2progs --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf kate Makefile
Add -static to CFLAGS.
The final CFLAGS look like this:
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -static
make and install:
make make install
The final binaries are put in ~/e2progs/sbin/
The final file is said to be dynamically linked, but I doubt if that’s actually true, since under lib, there’s only one file: e2initrd_helper
file ~/e2progs/sbin/e2fsck /home/droidzone/e2progs/sbin/e2fsck: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.31, not stripped
