Please read the README file before this one.
STEP 1
------
To detect some capabilities of your system, first type :
./configure
Note that you can use the following options :
--with-device=<a device>
Your NTFS device, for example /dev/hda3
--with-debug
To use the debugging capabilities of the kernel module (Only for Linux 2.1)
--with-mount-to=<a directory
Your mount point for the NTFS partition, for example /nt
STEP 2
------
Then type :
make
. For Linux 2.0 this will build the NTFS driver as a Linux kernel module. To
build the driver as a part (modular or not) of your Linux kernel, you can
apply the patch linux20/patch.
. For Linux 2.1 this will build the NTFS driver as a Linux kernel module. To
build the driver as a part (modular or not) of your Linux kernel, you can
apply the patch linux21/patch.
. For *BSD this will build the NTFS driver as a Linux kernel module.
. For all UNIX, this command builds a set of tools to access an NTFS
partition, too.
STEP 3 (Only for Linux 2.0, Linux 2.1 and *BSD)
------
Now mount a NTFS partition, 'cd' into it, 'ls' it, and at last try to 'cat' a
file such as WINNT35/WIN.INI. If it works like any other file system, you are
done. On the contrary, there is a bug, keep on reading.
STEP 4
------
Try this, say for example :
./ntdir
./ntdir WINNT35
./ntcat WINNT35/WIN.INI
If all of this works, you are done. On the contrary, there is a bug, you can
read the HACKING file to try to track it.
