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

Compilation and installation
|
|
|
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to compiler the source code you need following software packages:
|
|
|
|
|
- GCC compiler
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU C library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
- ZLIB library
|
|
|
|
|
- LZMA library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typical configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \
|
|
|
|
|
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To compile and install run:
|
|
|
|
|
make && make install

Hacking
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run 'bootstrap' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended
|
|
|
|
|
flags, you just need to run 'bootstrap-configure'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
