- Compression, read/write support for compressed files
- Symbolic link and directory junction walking
- Journaling system
Getting the latest sources
To grab the latest and greatest copy of the sources just type:
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/libext2fs-wii/code/trunk libext2fs-wii
Compiling and Installing
Make sure you have devkitPPC and the latest libogc installed. Then from the sources root directory, type:
make make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.
To compile a debug version with a console print out of the debug information, type:
make debug # or 'sudo make debug' if you aren't root.
Usage
Related routines can be accessed by adding the following line to your source file(s).
#include <ext2.h>
When compiling you must also link against libext2fs. To do this, add -lext2fs to the LIBS section of your application Makefile; for example:
LIBS := -lwiiuse -lbte -lext2fs -lfat -logc -lm
For a more practical example of using libext2fs in your application, see it's implementation in WiiXplorer.
