This is used if USE_KLIBC=true to find the kernel include
directory that klibc needs to build against. This must be set
if you are not building udev while running a 2.6 kernel.
+ EXTRAS
+ if set, will build the "extra" helper programs as specified
+ as listed (see below for an example.)
So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you
would do:
make USE_KLIBC=true DEBUG=true
+ If you want to build the udev helper program cdrom_id and scsi_id you
+ would do:
+ make EXTRAS="extras/cdrom_id extras/scsi_id"
+
udev will follow the setting of the debug level in udev.conf. Adapt this
value to see the debug in syslog.
If nothing seems to happen, make sure your build worked properly by
running the udev-test.pl script as root in the test/ subdirectory of the
-udev source tree.
+udev source tree. Running udevstart should populate an empty /dev
+directory. You may test, if a node is recreated after running udevstart.
Development and documentation help is very much appreciated, see the TODO
file for a list of things left to be done.
