5 Architecture specific compilation flags

To compile mtools, first invoke ./configure before make. In addition to the standard autoconfigure flags, there are two architecture specific flags available.

./configure --enable-xdf
./configure --disable-xdf

Enables support for XDF disks. This is on by default. See XDF, for details.

./configure --enable-vold
./configure --disable-vold

Enables support for vold on Solaris. When used in conjunction with vold, mtools should use different device nodes than for direct access.

./configure --enable-new-vold
./configure --disable-new-vold

Enables new support for vold on Solaris. This is supposed to work more smoothly than the old support.

./configure --enable-floppyd
./configure --disable-floppyd

Enables support for floppyd. By default, floppyd support is enabled as long as the necessary X includes and libraries are available.
