./configure

--prefix=

"/usr" - prefix for man pages, include files

--exec-prefix=

"" - the root filesystem, prefix for libs and binaries

--sysconfdir=

"/etc"

--with-libdir-name=

"lib" - directory name for libraries, not a path name

multilib 64bit systems may use "lib64" instead of "lib"

--enable-debug

compile-in verbose debug messages

--disable-logging

disable all logging and compile-out all log strings

--enable-selinux

link against SELInux libraries to set the expected context

for created files

The installation directories are controlled by $prefix, $exec_prefix

$sysconfdir and $libdir-name. Documentation, development files are

installed below $prefix, binaries are installed below $exec_prefix,

libraries below $exec_prefix/$libdir-name.

The default configuration for a RPM spec file may look like:

--prefix=%{_prefix}

--exec-prefix=""

--sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}

--with-libdir-name=%{_lib}

The well defined location for scripts and binaries which are called

from rules is /lib/udev/ on all systems and architectures, anything

else is broken. Other packages who use udev, may use the /lib/udev/

directory to install their rule helper and udev rule files.

It is recommended to use the /lib/udev/devices/ directory to place

device nodes, directories and symlinks, which are copied to /dev/

at every bootup. That way, nodes for devices which can not be

detected automatically, or are activated on-demand by opening the

pre-existing device node, will be available.

Default udev rules and persistent device naming rules are required

by other software that depends on the data udev collects from the

devices, and should therefore be installed by default with every udev

installation.
