-Read the README file for how to install udev.
+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:
+    --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.
+
+The options used in a RPM spec file usually look like:
+  --prefix=%{_prefix}
+  --exec-prefix=
+  --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}
+  --with-libdir-name=%{_lib}
+  --with-selinux
+
+The defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
+from rules is /lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures. Any
+other location will break other packages, who rightfully expect
+the /lib/udev/ directory, to install their rule helper and udev
+rule files.
+
+It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices/ directory to place
+device nodes, directories and symlinks, which are copied to /dev/
+at every bootup. That way, nodes for devices which can not be
+detected automatically, or are activated on-demand by opening the
+pre-existing device node, will be available.
+
+Default udev rules and persistent device naming rules are required
+by other software that depends on the data udev collects from the
+devices, and should therefore be installed by default with every udev
+installation.
