The gptfdisk package is a set of programs for creation and maintenance of GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk drives. A GPT partitioned disk is required for drives greater than 2 TB and is a modern replacement for legacy PC-BIOS partitioned disk drives that use a Master Boot Record (MBR). The main program, gdisk, has an interface similar to the classic fdisk program.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.1 platform.

The gptfdisk package comes with a
rudimentary Makefile. First we update
it to provide a simple build and install interface and fix the
location of a header file and fix some minor location issues.
Install gptfdisk by running the
following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../gptfdisk-1.0.10-convenience-1.patch && sed -i 's|ncursesw/||' gptcurses.cc && sed -i 's|sbin|usr/sbin|' Makefile && make
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root user:
make install
patch -Np1 ...: This
patch modifies the Makefile file so
that it provides an “install” target.
