Hi Ted, here are two patches that allow to link utils from e2fsprogs with external libblkid (e.g. the version from util-linux-ng). Note that the patches don't include *generated* stuff from the configure script. Changes: - add --disable-libblkid - don't build & install blkid(8) and findfs(8) Note that I'm not sure of your opinion about "#include blkid.h". The code in e2fsprogs mix "blkid/blkid.h" and "blkid.h" (and somewhere it depends on #ifdef :-). I think the best would be to remove the directory and use "-Ilib/blkid" (for private libblkid) or CFLAGS from pkg-config (for external libblkid). Anyway the code compiles with the current "#include" directives, so I didn't touch this stuff.
