| Lucas De Marchi | cb48c9b | 2011-12-12 16:41:38 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 6 | kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like |
| 7 | insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases. |
| Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri | 91b44c7 | 2011-12-02 21:05:38 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | |
| Lucas De Marchi | cb48c9b | 2011-12-12 16:41:38 -0200 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with |
| 10 | kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. |
| 11 | The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from |
| 12 | module-init-tools project. |

| 14 | Compilation and installation |
| 15 | ============================ |
| 16 | |
| 17 | In order to compiler the source code you need following software packages: |
| 18 | - GCC compiler |
| 19 | - GNU C library |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Optional dependencies: |
| 22 | - ZLIB library |
| 23 | - LZMA library |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Typical configuration: |
| 26 | ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \ |
| 27 | --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | To compile and install run: |
| 32 | make && make install |
| 33 | |

| 35 | ======= |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Run 'bootstrap' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended |
| 38 | flags, you just need to run 'bootstrap-configure'. |
