+The options used usually look like:
+ %configure \
+ --prefix=/usr \
+ --sysconfdir=/etc \
+ --bindir=/usr/bin \
+ --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
+ --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
+ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system \
+ --with-selinux
+
+The options used in a RPM spec file look like:
+ %configure \
+ --prefix=%{_prefix} \
+ --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \
+ --bindir=%{_bindir} \
+ --libdir=%{_libdir} \
+ --libexecdir=%{_prefix}/lib \
+ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=%{_prefix}/lib/systemd/system \
+ --with-selinux
+
+The options to install udev in the rootfs instead of /usr,
+and udevadm in /sbin:
+ --prefix=%{_prefix} \
+ --with-rootprefix= \
+ --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \
+ --bindir=/sbin \
+ --libdir=%{_libdir} \
+ --with-rootlibdir=/lib64 \
+ --libexecdir=/lib \
+ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system \
+ --with-selinux
+
+Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin'. A symlink to udevadm in 'bin'
+needs to be manually created if needed.
+
+The defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
+from rules is (/usr)/lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures. Any
+other location will break other packages, who rightfully expect
+the (/usr)/lib/udev/ directory, to install their rule helper and udev
+rule files.
+
+Default udev rules and persistent device naming rules may be required
+by other software that depends on the data udev collects from the
+devices.
