The gptfdisk package is a set of programs for creation and maintenance of GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk drives. A GPT partitioned disk is required for drives greater than 2 TB and is a modern replacement for legacy PC-BIOS partitioned disk drives that use a Master Boot Record (MBR). The main program, gdisk, has an inteface similar to the classic fdisk program.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.1 platform.

The gptfdisk package comes with a
rudimentary Makefile
. First we update
it to provide a simple build and install interface and fix the
location of a header file. Install gptfdisk by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../gptfdisk-1.0.7-convenience-1.patch && sed -i 's|ncursesw/||' gptcurses.cc && make
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
patch -Np1 ...: This
patch modifies the Makefile
file so
that it provides an “install” target.
