  26. <title>Installation of Udev</title>
  27. <para>By default, the permissions udev assigns to nodes are all uniform,
  28. being owned by user root, group root, and only accessible to root. As you
  29. can easily imagine, this isn't ideal. Give it a much better configuration
  30. by applying the following patch:</para>
  31. <screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../udev-&udev-version;-config-1.patch
  32. </userinput></screen>
  33. <para>The udevstart program hardcodes the path to the udev program in itself,
  34. which is bad since we install udev in a non-standard location. Fix this by
  35. running the following:</para>
  36. <screen><userinput>sed -i 's:\/sbin\/udev:/tools&amp;:' udevstart.c</userinput></screen>
  37. <para>Also assure that udev knows the correct location to look for its
  38. configuration files:</para>
  39. <screen><userinput>sed -i 's:\/etc:/tools&amp;:' etc/udev/udev.conf.in</userinput></screen>
  40. <para>Now compile Udev:</para>
  41. <screen><userinput>make prefix=/tools etcdir=/tools/etc</userinput></screen>
  42. <para>Generate Udev's main configuration file:</para>
  43. <screen><userinput>make udevdir=/dev etc/udev/udev.conf</userinput></screen>
  44. <para>And install finally install it:</para>
  45. <screen><userinput>make DESTDIR=/tools install</userinput></screen>
