Installation of btrfs-progs

Install btrfs-progs by running the following commands: 

sed -i '1,106 s/\.gz//g' Documentation/Makefile.in &&

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --bindir=/bin \
            --libdir=/lib &&
make

This package does not come with an operable test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&

ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/libbtrfs.so) /usr/lib/libbtrfs.so &&
rm -v /lib/libbtrfs.{a,so}

Command Explanations

sed ... Documentation/Makefile.in: Disables compressing man pages to be consistent with the rest of BLFS.

--disable-documentation: This option is needed if the recommended dependencies are not installed.

ln -s ... /usr/lib/libbtrfs.so: Creates a symbolic link in the directory where it is expected.

rm /lib/libbtrfs.{a,so}: Removes unneeded library entries.
