Building eudev
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The following instructions provide the steps needed to acquire and build the
|
|
eudev software on different Linux distributions. Similar instructions apply to
|
|
other distributions, not included here, though the package names and the syntax
|
|
of the package manager may vary.
|
|
|
|
Please note that command examples in this document use the following convention.
|
|
Commands prefixed by a "$" symbol are to be run as a regular, user. Commands
|
|
with a "#" prefix need to be run as the root user. If your user has sudo access
|
|
then sudo may be used instead of logging into the root account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Installing dependencies
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
The first thing we need to do is install the dependencies required to build
|
|
eudev. This can be accomplished by running the following two commands:
|
|
|
|
# apt-get update
|
|
|
|
# apt-get install build-essential pkg-config docbook-xsl \
|
|
docbook-xml m4 automake autoconf intltool gperf \
|
|
gnu-efi libcap-dev libselinux1-dev libacl1-dev \
|
|
libkmod-dev libblkid-dev gobject-introspection \
|
|
libglib-object-introspection-perl libtool xsltproc
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 eudev-*.tar.xz archive file. Then unpack the
|
|
downloaded archive. For example, if we downloaded eudev version 3.2.10 we could
|
|
unpack the archive using the following command:
|
|
|
|
$ tar xf eudev-3.2.10.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, we can download the latest source code by using git. This is
|
|
the recommended option for developers. Here we use the git source control
|
|
program and use it to download the latest eudev source code:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Configuring and building eudev
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
To build the eudev source code, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ cd eudev
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix /usr/local
|
|
|
|
Once eudev has been configured we can then perform the build.
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Install eudev
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
*** WARNING ****
|
|
Installing eudev manually can break your operating system.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If you really wish to proceed and install eudev manually, you can do so by
|
|
running:
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Removing eudev
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Please note that removing eudev can damage your system.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to remove eudev from yoru system you can do so by running the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
# make uninstall
|
