The Kmod package contains programs for loading, inserting and removing kernel modules for Linux. Kmod replaces the Module-Init-tools package.
The following sed
changes Kmod's default module search location to /tools/lib/modules
:
cp -v libkmod/libkmod.c{,.orig} sed '/dirname_default_prefix /s@/lib/modules@/tools&@' \ libkmod/libkmod.c.orig > libkmod/libkmod.c
Prepare Kmod for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/tools \ --build=${CLFS_HOST} --host=${CLFS_TARGET} --with-xz --with-zlib
The meaning of the new configure options:
--with-zlib
--with-xz
These allow the Kmod package to handle zlib and XZ compressed kernel modules.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
Create symbolic links for programs that expect Module-Init-Tools:
ln -sfv kmod /tools/bin/lsmod for tool in depmod insmod modprobe modinfo rmmod; do ln -sv ../bin/kmod /tools/sbin/${tool} done
