6.46.1. Installation of Kmod
Prepare Kmod for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/bin \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-rootlibdir=/lib \
--with-xz \
--with-zlib
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/bin \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-rootlibdir=/lib \
--with-xz \
--with-zlib
The meaning of the configure options:
--with-xz, --with-zlib
These options enable Kmod to handle compressed kernel modules.
--with-rootlibdir=/lib
This option ensures different library related files are placed in the correct directories.
Compile the package:
make
make
This package does not come with a test suite that can be run in the LFS chroot environment. At a minimum the git program is required and several tests will not run outside of a git repository.
Install the package, and create symlinks for compatibility with Module-Init-Tools (the package that previously handled Linux kernel modules):
make install
for target in depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod; do ln -sfv ../bin/kmod /sbin/$target
done
ln -sfv kmod /bin/lsmod
make install
for target in depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod; do ln -sfv ../bin/kmod /sbin/$target
done
ln -sfv kmod /bin/lsmod
