| Installation | |
| ============ | |
| 1) Generate custom makefiles. | |
| Run the 'configure' script from the top directory. | |
| If you don't want to include the LVM1 backwards-compatibility code use: | |
| ./configure --with-lvm1=none | |
| To separate the LVM1 support into a shared library loaded by lvm.conf use: | |
| ./configure --with-lvm1=shared | |
| Use ./configure --help to see other options. | |
| 2) Build and install. | |
| Run 'make' from the top directory to build everything you configured. | |
| Run 'make install' to build and install everything you configured. | |
| If you only want the device-mapper libraries and tools use | |
| 'make device-mapper' or 'make install_device-mapper'. | |
| 3) If using LVM2, create a configuration file. | |
| The tools will work fine without a configuration file being | |
| present, but you ought to review the example file in doc/example.conf. | |
| Please also refer to the WHATS_NEW file and the manual pages for the | |
| individual commands. | |
