Hello,

I am trying to install testdisk/photorec according to https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf.

running Xubuntu 18.04 LTS

installed the compilation environment
apt-get install -y build-essential ...... dh-autoreconf git

downloaded www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk-7.1-WIP.lin ... 64.tar.bz2

extracted with tar xjf ...

There is no file "configure" in the resulting directory testdisk-7.1-WIP.

Tried the same with the 32-bit-archive (www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk-7.0.linux26.tar.bz2) and the git repository (git clone https://git.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.git. Same result - no configure file. Where am I wrong???

Thanks in advance for any help!

You have downloaded 32-bits and 64-bits binary packages, so no configure script is present. You can use the photorec_static or testdisk_static binaries directly.

When using git to get the source code, you have to create the configure script as state in the documentation by using autoreconf:

Code: Select all

cd testdisk
mkdir config
autoreconf --install -W all -I config
./configure
make
