 Usual options for udev installed in the root filesystem are:
-  ./configure
-    --prefix=/usr
-    --exec-prefix=
-    --sysconfdir=/etc
-For 64bit multilib-installations also:
-    --with-libdir-name=lib64
-For SELinux support:
+  ./configure \
+    --prefix=/usr \
+    --sysconfdir=/etc \
+    --sbindir=/sbin \
+    --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
+    --with-rootlibdir=/lib64 \
+    --libexecdir=/lib/udev \
     --with-selinux
 
-All options:
-  --prefix=
-      Prefix for man pages, include files.
-  --exec-prefix=
-      Prefix for libs, binaries, usually the root filesystem.
-  --with-udev-prefix=
-      Prefix for internal udev path names, like /dev/, /lib/udev/.
-      Only useful for testing and development installations. The
-      value is copied from exec-prefix, if not specified otherwise.
-  --sysconfdir=
-      Usually /etc.
-  --with-libdir-name=
-      Directory name for libraries. This is not a path name.
-  --enable-debug
-      Compile-in verbose debug messages. Usually not needed,
-      it increases the size of the binaries.
-  --disable-logging
-      Disable all logging and compile-out all log strings. This
-      is not recommended, as it makes it almost impossible to debug
-      udev in the running system.
-  --with-selinux
-      Link against SELInux libraries to set the expected context
-      for created files.
-  --disable-extras
-      Disable the build of extras with larger external dependencies
-      like glib, libacl, libusb, ...
