<title>Installation of Udev</title>

<para>The udevstart program hardcodes the path to the udev program in itself,
which is bad since we install udev in a non-standard location. Fix this by
running the following:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's@/sbin/udev@/tools/sbin/udev@g' udevstart.c</userinput></screen>

<para>Also assure that udev knows the correct location to look for its
configuration files:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's@/etc@/tools/etc@g' etc/udev/udev.conf.in</userinput></screen>

<para>Now compile Udev:</para>

<screen><userinput>make prefix=/tools etcdir=/tools/etc</userinput></screen>

<para>Install it:</para>

<screen><userinput>make DESTDIR=/tools udevdir=/dev install</userinput></screen>

<para>Udev's configuration is far from ideal by default, so we install our own
configuration files here:</para>

<screen><userinput>cp ../udev-config-1.permissions /tools/etc/udev/permissions.d/00-lfs.permissions
cp ../udev-config-1.rules /tools/etc/udev/rules.d/00-lfs.rules</userinput></screen>
