Adjust the values with: echo "ac_cv_sizeof_long=8" > config.cache ../configure \ --prefix=/tools \ --enable-elf-shlibs \ --build=${CLFS_HOST} \ --host=${CLFS_TARGET} \ --disable-libblkid \ --disable-libuuid \ --disable-fsck \ --disable-uuidd \ --cache-file=config.cache make libs make -C e2fsck/ Install the e2fsck binary: make install -C e2fsck
