Eudev Prepare Eudev for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/sbin \ --sbindir=/sbin \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/lib \ --with-rootprefix= \ --with-rootlibdir=/lib \ --enable-manpages \ --disable-static Compile the package: make Create some directories now that are needed for tests, but will also be used as a part of installation: mkdir -pv /lib/udev/rules.d mkdir -pv /etc/udev/rules.d To test the results, issue: make check Install the package: make install Install some custom rules and support files useful in an LFS environment: tar -xvf ../&udev-lfs-version;.tar.xz make -f &udev-lfs-version;/Makefile.lfs install Eudev configuring /etc/udev/hwdb.bin Information about hardware devices is maintained in the /etc/udev/hwdb.d and /lib/udev/hwdb.d directories. Eudev needs that information to be compiled into a binary database /etc/udev/hwdb.bin. Create the initial database: udevadm hwdb --update This command needs to be run each time the hardware information is updated. Installed programs Installed libraries Installed directories udevadm and udevd libudev.so /etc/udev, /lib/udev, and /usr/share/doc/udev-&udev-lfs-version; Short Descriptions udevadm Generic udev administration tool: controls the udevd daemon, provides info from the Udev database, monitors uevents, waits for uevents to finish, tests Udev configuration, and triggers uevents for a given device udevadm udevd A daemon that listens for uevents on the netlink socket, creates devices and runs the configured external programs in response to these uevents udevd libudev A library interface to udev device information libudev /etc/udev Contains Udev configuration files, device permissions, and rules for device naming /etc/udev
