Before initial compilation, autoconf/automake tools should be run.

 # ./autogen.sh

How to compile

 # ./configure
 # make
 # make install

How to cross-compile (e.g., for ARM)
------------------------------------

 1. Add the below line into mkfs/Makefile.am:
 mkfs_f2fs_LDFLAGS = -all-static

 2. Add the below line into fsck/Makefile.am:
 fsck_f2fs_LDFLAGS = -all-static

 3. then, do:
 # LDFLAGS=--static ./configure \
	--host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
 # make

How to run by default
---------------------

 $ mkfs.f2fs -l [LABEL] $DEV
