<a name="Libraries"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> Libraries </span></h2>
<ul><li> libncurses - Required, TestDisk and PhotoRec use a text user interface, Ncurses library and development files must be available.
</li><li> Ext2fs library - Optional, used by TestDisk to list files from ext2/ext3 partition
</li><li> EWF library - Optional, TestDisk and PhotoRec use it to access Expert Witness Compression Format files (ie Encase files)

<a name="ncurses_Library"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> ncurses Library </span></h3>
<p>Ncurses library is usually installed with your OS, so you don't need to compile it yourself.
If ncursesw is available, TestDisk and PhotoRec will use it to display unicode chars.
</p>
<a name="Ext2fs_Library"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Ext2fs Library</span></h3>
<p>Ext2fs library is usually installed with your OS, so you don't need to compile it yourself.
Otherwise get latest version of e2fsprogs at <a href="http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net" class="external free" title="http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net</a>
</p>
<pre>
tar xzf e2fsprogs-1.38.tgz

<a name="EWF_library"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> EWF library </span></h3>
<p>EWF library source code can be downloaded from <a href="https://www.uitwisselplatform.nl/projects/libewf/" class="external free" title="https://www.uitwisselplatform.nl/projects/libewf/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uitwisselplatform.nl/projects/libewf/</a>. Note that it requires openssl and zlib to compile and run sucessfully.

./configure

<a name="Iconv_library"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Iconv library </span></h3>
<p>On most plateform, iconv functions are integrated in libc, so no additional library is needed.
Under Windows, a libiconv package is available on cygwin website but as cygwin doesn't handle unicode filename currently, unofficial <a href="http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/" class="external text" title="http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/" rel="nofollow">utf8-cygwin</a> dll should be used instead,
A libiconv package is available for DOS/djgpp but it's useless as the OS doesn't support unicode filename.

<a name="Jpeg_library"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Jpeg library </span></h3>
<p>Libjpeg library is usually installed with your OS, so you don't need to compile it yourself.
Otherwise download libjpeg source from <a href="ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz" class="external free" title="ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz</a><br />

<p>To get a working version under NT 4, use <code>configure --disable-default-device-io-ops</code>

<p>You may need to specify parameters to configure, see <b>configure --help</b>.<br />
Example:

</pre>
<a name="Static_version"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Static version </span></h3>
<p>If you need to run the binary on systems that lack one of the previous libraries,
create a static binary with
</p>
<pre>
make static
</pre>
<a name="Static_compressed_binary"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline"> Static compressed binary </span></h3>
<p>If you need a small binary for binary distribution,
get the UPX packer at <a href="http://upx.sourceforge.net/" class="external text" title="http://upx.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://upx.sourceforge.net/ </a>
and run
</p>
<pre>
strip src/testdisk src/photorec
upx src/testdisk src/photorec
</pre>
<p>Note that Linux UPX needs to decompress program files before running, and it will request some space on /tmp to do this. The running executable must be allowed in this directory (mount -o remount,exec /tmp).
