- Build the project:
make
+ Note:
+ There are a number of different flags that you can use when building
+ udev. They are as follows:
+ prefix - set this to the default root that you want udev to be
+ installed into. This works just like the 'configure --prefix'
+ script does. Default value is ''. Only override this if you
+ really know what you are doing.
+ KLIBC - if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the included
+ version of klibc. Default value is 'false'.
+ DEBUG - if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog
+ as udev is run. Default value is 'false'.
+ DBUS - if set to 'true', DBUS messages will be sent everytime udev
+ creates or removes a device node. This requires that DBUS
+ development headers and libraries be present on your system to
+ build properly. Default value is 'false'.
+
+ So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you
+ would do:
+ make KLIBC=true DEBUG=true
+
+
- Install the project:
make install
