Building eudev
==============
The following instructions provide the steps needed to acquire and build the eudev
software on the Debian, Devuan, and compatible Linux distributions. Similar instructions
apply to other distributions, though, the package names and the syntax of the
package manager on other distributions differ.

2. Downloading the source code
==============================
There are two common approaches to downloading the project's source code. The first
is to visit the eudev GitHub releases page (https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev/releases)
and downloading the latest tar.gz archive file. Then unpack the downloaded archive. For
example, if we downloaded eudev version 3.2.10 we could unpack the archive using the

Alternatively, we can download the latest source code by using git. This is probably the
better option for developers. Here we install the git source control program and
use it to download the latest eudev source code:

Please note that, by default, the configure script will assume we want to place
eudev under the /usr directory. If this is not accurate, we can supply an alternative
location using the "--prefix" flag. For instance, to place eudev under the /usr/local
directory tree, run the following:

Please note that, in most situations, people will not wish to install eudev manually.
This work is typically performed by your distribution's package manager. Installing
eudev manually can break your operating system.
