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.
+ Usually /usr, prefix for man pages, include files.
--sysconfdir=
Usually /etc.
- --with-libdir-name=
- Directory name for libraries. This is not a path name.
+ --sbindir=
+ Usually /sbin, the place for udevd and udevadm.
+ --libexecdir=
+ Usually /lib/udev, the udev private directory.
--enable-debug
Compile-in verbose debug messages. Usually not needed,
it increases the size of the binaries.
