6 | kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like |
| 7 | insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases. | |

| cb48c9b2 LDM |
9 | These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with |
| 10 | kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. | |
| 11 | The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from | |
| 12 | module-init-tools project. | |

| 14 | Compilation and installation | |
| 15 | ============================ | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | In order to compiler the source code you need following software packages: | |
| 18 | - GCC compiler | |
| 19 | - GNU C library | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | Optional dependencies: | |
| 22 | - ZLIB library | |
| 23 | - LZMA library | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Typical configuration: | |
| 26 | ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \ | |
| 27 | --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | To compile and install run: | |
| 32 | make && make install | |

34 | Hacking |
| 35 | ======= | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Run 'bootstrap' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended | |
| 38 | flags, you just need to run 'bootstrap-configure'. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Make sure to read the CODING-STYLE file. | |
