if you wish that on ubuntu, ask at ubuntu forum, or keep betting on luck that a user here is also a ubuntu user
if you wish that on gentoo it's emerge testdisk
and if you wish that just because you need it but have no clue how to build it : go to distrowatch and grab a security/datarecovery distro, they are many with binary tools aim at recovering datas and partitions ready made and that will work out of the box just after booting the cd. |

Hi expressvijay,
also, please note that if you download the bz2 archive from the official website, you'll get some static binary executables :
| Code: | $ file *_static
fidentify_static: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped
photorec_static: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped
testdisk_static: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped |
So, no need to compile-it

If your posting on a Gentoo forum with a question like this you should read the following, however I am slightly confused as to how you would have managed to install Gentoo in the first place and not know a few basics.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1
The short answer as previously stated is
| Code: | | emerge -v app-admin/testdisk |

So, get the sources and read the README and INSTALL files, and eventually what resides in the doc folder.
In GNU/Linux environments, compilation from sources is something like
| Code: | ./configure
make
make install |
To debug, use GNU gdb : http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/

Then you should start by reading the documentation shipped into that source package. As always. Specially the README and INSTALL files, and any other documentation that seems related in the package and their website, wikis, etc.
Besides that, "how to set up a compiler and a toolchain" on any random OS that's not Gentoo is not really a topic for this forum. |
