[Ocfs2-users] Compiling ocfs2-tools-1.6.3 on slackware64-13.1

[pica pica]

I don't believe slackware has a build-everything-static mode.
Every package (if correctly built) includes a script responsible for building said package (it compiles and packages all files that result from compilation). 
This script is called a "SlackBuild".

The point is: we actually have to modify some SlackBuild scripts (like the vlc.SlackBuild) to force a static-build when that is desirable.

Anyway, although ocfs2-tools now compiles with no errors (thanks to the precious help from Sunil Mushran) but only after manually editing o2image's Makefile to accept the -lpthread flag (as per Sunil's suggestion) I do appreciate that you took the time to explain what was probably wrong to begin with.
I'm sure that with your help we'll be able to come up with a working ocfs2 setup on slackware :)

One other thing: the --libdir flag was not respected and some python files ended up in the wrong directory, making the console fail.
I fixed that by manually copying the files to their proper place, but console still does not work :(
I have not tried a "command line only" setup because I really want the to fix the issue with the console first.
