Linux From Scratch - Version 7.0

175

6.52. Module-Init-Tools-3.16

The Module-Init-Tools package contains programs for handling kernel modules in Linux kernels greater than or equal

to version 2.5.47.

Approximate build time: 0.1 SBU

Required disk space: 8.6 MB

6.52.1. Installation of Module-Init-Tools

Apply a patch that contains the generated man pages that were missing from the released source tarball:

patch -Np1 -i ../module-init-tools-3.16-man_pages-1.patch

The test suite of this package is geared towards the needs of its Maintainer. The command make check builds a

specially wrapped version of modprobe which is useless for normal operation. To run this (about 0.2 SBU), issue the

following commands (note that the make clean command is required to clean up the source tree before recompiling

for normal use):

DOCBOOKTOMAN=/bin/true ./configure

make check

sed -i -e 's@../../configure@DOCBOOKTOMAN=/bin/true &@' tests/runtests

./tests/runtests

make clean

Prepare Module-Init-Tools for compilation:

DOCBOOKTOMAN=/bin/true ./configure --prefix=/ \

--enable-zlib-dynamic --mandir=/usr/share/man

Compile the package:

make

Install the package:

make INSTALL=install install

The meaning of the make parameter:

INSTALL=install

Normally, make install will not install the binaries if they already exist. This option overrides that behavior by

calling install instead of using the default wrapper script.

6.52.2. Contents of Module-Init-Tools

Installed programs: depmod, insmod, insmod.static, lsmod, modinfo, modprobe, and rmmod

Short Descriptions

depmod Creates a dependency file based on the symbols it finds in the existing set of modules; this

dependency file is used by modprobe to automatically load the required modules

insmod Installs a loadable module in the running kernel
