    <title>Installation of Udev</title>

    <para>The udev-config tarball contains LFS-specific files used to configure
    Udev. Unpack it into the Udev source directory:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">tar -xvf ../&udev-config;.tar.bz2</userinput></screen>

    <para>Create some devices and directories that Udev cannot handle due to
    them being required very early in the boot process, or by Udev itself:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">install -dv /lib/{firmware,udev/devices/{pts,shm}}
mknod -m0666 /lib/udev/devices/null c 1 3
mknod -m0600 /lib/udev/devices/kmsg c 1 11
ln -sv /proc/self/fd /lib/udev/devices/fd
ln -sv /proc/self/fd/0 /lib/udev/devices/stdin
ln -sv /proc/self/fd/1 /lib/udev/devices/stdout
ln -sv /proc/self/fd/2 /lib/udev/devices/stderr
ln -sv /proc/kcore /lib/udev/devices/core</userinput></screen>

    <para>Prepare the package for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/ --includedir=/usr/include \
    --datarootdir=/usr/share</userinput></screen>

    <para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>Recreate the library <filename class="extension">.so</filename> files
    currently in the <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> directory in
    <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, then remove the
    originals:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/libudev.so) \
       /usr/lib/libudev.so
ln -sv ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/libvolume_id.so) \
       /usr/lib/libvolume_id.so
rm -v /lib/lib{udev,volume_id}.so</userinput></screen>

    <para>Move the <filename class="extension">.pc</filename> files currently
    in the <filename class="directory">/lib/pkgconfig</filename> directory to
    their proper place in <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">mv -v /lib/pkgconfig/lib{udev,volume_id}.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig
rmdir -v /lib/pkgconfig</userinput></screen>

    <para>Udev has to be configured in order to work properly, as its default
    configuration does not cover all devices. First install two extra rules
    files from Udev to help support device-mapper and RAID setups:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">install -m644 -v etc/udev/packages/64-*.rules \
    /etc/udev/rules.d/</userinput></screen>

    <para>Now install a file to create symlinks for certain hand-held devices:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">install -m644 -v etc/udev/packages/40-pilot-links.rules \
    /etc/udev/rules.d/</userinput></screen>

    <!-- There are more files available in the packages/ directory, if we want
         to consider using them.  Most are probably irrelevant to LFS though.
         "alsa" isn't, but we already have those rules, using a better set of
         matches.  Most of the files in packages/ are for other architectures. -->

    <para>Now install the LFS-specific custom rules files:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">cd &udev-config;
make install</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the documentation that explains the LFS-specific rules
    files:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make install-doc</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the documentation that explains the commonly-used rules
    files provided by Udev:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">make install-extra-doc</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the documentation that explains how to create custom Udev
    rules:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="install">cd ..
install -m644 -v -D docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html \
    /usr/share/doc/udev-&udev-version;/index.html</userinput></screen>
