or
git clone git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git mtd-utils
configure and build for cross compile
mtd-utils does not supprot configure.
You must modify Makefile of commom.mk directlry
In common.mk defines CC
CC := $(CROSS)gcc
AR := $(CROSS)ar
RANLIB := $(CROSS)ranlib
just add variable CROSS on top of common.mk for example
CROSS :=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
In Makefile instill DIR defined as DESTDIR
install:: $(addprefix $(BUILDDIR)/,${BINS}) ${SCRIPTS}
mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/${SBINDIR}
install -m 0755 $^ ${DESTDIR}/${SBINDIR}/
mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/${MANDIR}/man1
install -m 0644 mkfs.jffs2.1 ${DESTDIR}/${MANDIR}/man1/
-gzip -9f ${DESTDIR}/${MANDIR}/man1/*.1
Do below commnad
$ make install DESTDIR=/home/user/mtd/install
finally you can do as below
$ make CROSS=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- DESTDIR=/home/user/mtd/install all install
sometimes it can return errors, because of cross compiler restriction
$ error: sys/acl.h: No such file or directory
It means your cross toolchanin does not support ACL.
mtd-util has build option for this
$ make CROSS=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- WITHOUT_XATTR=1
The access control list(ACL) enables higher flexible access control based on UNIX users and groups than traditional user/group/others model. '--with-xattr' or '--with-posix-acl' options on mkfs.jffs2 enables to
copy the ACLs associated with any files in host environment into jffs2 image file. The purpose of this feature is improvement of security in embedded region.

error: lzo/lzo1x.h: No such file or directory
There is an option build without LZO
But it does not works properly, also LZO must be needed because ubifs includes LZO
$make CROSS=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- WITHOUT_XATTR=1 WITHOUT_LZO=1
It will cause build error also in ubifs related package
Refer to
http://dokyunblog.blogspot.kr/2012/07/introduction-lzo-is-data-compression.html
Contain LZO lib in toolchain.
