<para>Util-linux does not use the freshly installed headers and libraries from
the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename> directory by default. This is
fixed by altering the configure script:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's@/usr/include@/tools/include@g' configure</userinput></screen>

<para>Prepare Util-linux for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile some support routines:</para>

<screen><userinput>make -C lib</userinput></screen>

<para>Only a few of the utilities contained in this package need to be
built:</para>

<screen><userinput>make -C mount mount umount
make -C text-utils more</userinput></screen>

<para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

<para>Copy these programs to the temporary tools directory:</para>

<screen><userinput>cp mount/{,u}mount text-utils/more /tools/bin</userinput></screen>
