| Usual options for udev installed in the root filesystem are: |
| ./configure \ |
| --prefix=/usr \ |
| --sysconfdir=/etc \ |
| --sbindir=/sbin \ |
| --libdir=/usr/lib64 \ |
| --with-rootlibdir=/lib64 \ |
| --libexecdir=/lib/udev \ |
| --with-selinux |
| |
| All options: |
| --prefix= |
| Usually /usr, prefix for man pages, include files. |
| --sysconfdir= |
| Usually /etc. |
| --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. |
| --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. |
| --disable-extras |
| Disable the build of all extras which have larger external |
| dependencies like glib, libacl, libusb, ... |
| |
| The options used in a RPM spec file usually look like: |
| %configure \ |
| --prefix=%{_prefix} \ |
| --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \ |
| --sbindir=/sbin \ |
| --libdir=%{_libdir} \ |
| --with-rootlibdir=/%{_lib} \ |
| --libexecdir=/lib/udev \ |
| --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. |
