Note:
There are a number of different flags that you can use when building
udev. They are as follows:
- prefix - set this to the default root that you want udev to be
+ prefix
+ set this to the default root that you want udev to be
installed into. This works just like the 'configure --prefix'
script does. Default value is ''. Only override this if you
really know what you are doing.
- USE_KLIBC - if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the included
- version of klibc. Default value is 'false'.
- DEBUG - if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog
- as udev is run. Default value is 'false'.
- USE_DBUS - if set to 'true', DBUS messages will be sent everytime udev
+ USE_KLIBC
+ if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the
+ included version of klibc. Default value is 'false'.
+ USE_LOG
+ if set to 'true', udev will emit messages to the syslog when
+ it creates or removes device nodes. This is helpful to see
+ what udev is doing. This is enabled by default. Note, if you
+ are building udev against klibc it is recommended that you
+ disable this option (due to klibc's syslog implementation.)
+ USE_DBUS
+ if set to 'true', DBUS messages will be sent everytime udev
creates or removes a device node. This requires that DBUS
development headers and libraries be present on your system to
build properly. Default value is 'false'.
+ DEBUG
+ if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog
+ as udev is run. Default value is 'false'.
+ KERNEL_DIR
+ If this is not set it will default to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
+ 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.
So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you
would do:
make USE_KLIBC=true DEBUG=true
- Note: If you want to use klibc, you will have to set up the "linux"
- symlink properly. See the file klibc/klibc/README and pay
- attention to step "a)" there.
