INSTALL

   1 Usual options for udev installed in the root filesystem are:
   2   ./configure
   3     --prefix=/usr
   4     --exec-prefix=
   5     --sysconfdir=/etc
   6 For 64bit multilib-installations also:
   7     --with-libdir-name=lib64
   8 For SELinux support:
   9     --with-selinux
  10
  11 All options:
  12   --prefix=
  13       Prefix for man pages, include files.
  14   --exec-prefix=
  15       Prefix for libs, binaries, usually the root filesystem.
  16   --with-udev-prefix=
  17       Prefix for internal udev path names, like /dev/, /lib/udev/.
  18       Only useful for testing and development installations. The
  19       value is copied from exec-prefix, if not specified otherwise.
  20   --sysconfdir=
  21       Usually /etc.
  22   --with-libdir-name=
  23       Directory name for libraries. This is not a path name.
  24   --enable-debug
  25       Compile-in verbose debug messages. Usually not needed,
  26       it increases the size of the binaries.
  27   --disable-logging
  28       Disable all logging and compile-out all log strings. This
  29       is not recommended, as it makes it almost impossible to debug
  30       udev in the running system.
  31   --with-selinux
  32       Link against SELInux libraries to set the expected context
  33       for created files.
  34   --disable-extras
  35       Disable the build of extras with larger external dependencies
  36       like glib, libacl, libusb, ...
  37
  38 The options used in a RPM spec file usually look like:
  39   --prefix=%{_prefix}
  40   --exec-prefix=
  41   --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}
  42   --with-libdir-name=%{_lib}
  43   --with-selinux
  44
  45 The defined location for scripts and binaries which are called
  46 from rules is /lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures. Any
  47 other location will break other packages, who rightfully expect
  48 the /lib/udev/ directory, to install their rule helper and udev
  49 rule files.
  50
  51 It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices/ directory to place
  52 device nodes, directories and symlinks, which are copied to /dev/
  53 at every bootup. That way, nodes for devices which can not be
  54 detected automatically, or are activated on-demand by opening the
  55 pre-existing device node, will be available.
  56
  57 Default udev rules and persistent device naming rules are required
  58 by other software that depends on the data udev collects from the
  59 devices, and should therefore be installed by default with every udev
  60 installation.
