| 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. |
