This is not stricly needed for this temporary tool, but it prevents creating a file at another location, which would not be overwritten or removed when building the final util-linux package. --disable-* These switches prevent warnings about building components that require packages not in LFS or not installed yet. --without-python This switch disables using Python. It avoids trying to build unneeded bindings. runstatedir=/run This switch sets the location of the socket used by uuidd and libuuid correctly. Compile the package: make Install the package: make install <para>Details on this package are located in <xref linkend="contents-utillinux" role="."/></para> </sect2> </sect1>
