anyfs-tools promises to convert a ntfs partition into ext3. That's what I want to do. (I have backed up what was necessary).But when I try to compile anyfs-tools I get a make compilation error complaining about the ext2fs library. So I suppose I do not have the good version that makes this executable compile.What should I do when such case happens ? Should I search for the version of e2fslibs that is compatible and install it  so as the make can succeed. Could it break my current distro ? Or should I try to modify the code of anyfs-tools (that has not been updated since 2010-06-19)This is the output of make:gcc -O3 -Wall -Winline --param inline-unit-growth=1000 --param large-function-growth=10000 -std=gnu99 -I../../include -I/usr/include/ext2fs -I/usr/include/et   -g -O2 -o anysurrect anysurrect.o  -rdynamic -L../../lib -lany  -ldl  -lext2fs   -L. -lanysurrect./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_unmark_block_bitmap_range2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_inode_data_blocks2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_mark_block_bitmap_range'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_group_last_block2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_get_generic_bitmap_end'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_group_of_blk2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_get_generic_bmap_end'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `com_err'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_test_generic_bitmap'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_group_first_block2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_unmark_block_bitmap_range'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_get_generic_bmap_start'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_unmark_generic_bmap'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_test_generic_bmap'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_mark_block_bitmap_range2'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_mark_generic_bmap'./libanysurrect.so: undefined reference to `ext2fs_get_generic_bitmap_start'collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusmake[2]: *** [anysurrect] Error 1make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/anyfs-tools-0.85.1c/src/anysurrect'make[1]: *** [anysurrect_util] Error 2make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/anyfs-tools-0.85.1c/src'make: *** [progs] Error 2
Cannot make anyfs-tools. My e2fslibs package seems not to be the compatible version

Looking here - https://launchpad.net/~develop7/+archive/ppa/+build/1545234 - looks like anyfs-tools failed to build for them as well. The manual is a recommended read (http://anyfs-tools.sourceforge.net/), especially this snippet: anyfs-tools anyfs-tools allows a user to convert filesystems. There is only one requirement for the existing source filesystem: there must be FIBMAP system call ioctl(2) support in the filesystem driver (maybe read-only) for Linux OS. Currently anyfs-tools supports filesystem conversion to ext2fs/ext3fs or xfs, [...] NTFS and ext* are way too incompatible to even hope to convert.
