In 2012, the Udev code distribution was merged with systemd. Systemd is a set of programs that replace the SysVInit package used by LFS and is much more complex. It is not compatible with the LFS bootscripts and has many problems and few advantages for most LFS users.
The procedures below extract libraries and programs from the systemd sources that could not be built in LFS due to library dependency issues.
Unlike any other package in the BLFS book, there is no set version of systemd specified to download. Several version updates to LFS and BLFS means there are probably many different versions of Udev on the platforms that BLFS is being built upon. Therefore, you should download and use the version of systemd your computer currently uses. The BLFS team has no experience updating (or reverting to an older version) the Udev programs “on the fly.” To discover the version of Udev your computer currently uses, issue /sbin/udevadm --version.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4 platform.

http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/other/ (match the udev-lfs-???.tar.bz2 tarball version to the systemd version used in LFS). GLib-2.36.4 (for the gudev library), Gperf-3.0.4 (for keymap), and gobject-introspection-1.36.0 (for gir-data, needed for Gnome)
pciutils-3.2.0 and usbutils-007
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/udev-extras
First, put the custom LFS files in place:
tar -xf ../udev-lfs-186.tar.bz2
For udev-lfs-197-2.tar.bz2, there is a minor error in the Makefile. For that version, run:
sed -i -e '/samsung-9/d' udev-lfs-197-2/makefile-incl.keymap
Support for special keys for many laptops is provided by the keymap program and supporting files. If the keymap capability is desired, use:
make -f udev-lfs-186/Makefile.lfs keymap
To install keymap
and its associated files, issue the following command as the
root
user:
make -f udev-lfs-186/Makefile.lfs install-keymap
To build the libgudev-1.0 library and interface files, run:
make -f udev-lfs-186/Makefile.lfs gudev
Install the gudev
library, run, as
the root
user:
make -f udev-lfs-186/Makefile.lfs install-gudev
To build the gobject-introspection interface (gir) files
for the libgudev-1.0
library, run:
make -f udev-lfs-186/Makefile.lfs gir-data
Install the gir data, as the root
user:
make -f udev-lfs-186/Makefile.lfs install-gir-data
There is a shortcut to build and install all of the
udev components at once using
the all and install-all Makefile.lfs
targets. The installation of
this target will overwrite the base LFS udev files and has not
been thoroughly tested at the time of this writing. If using
this procedure, the udev daemon should be stopped before
overwriting the existing udevd
and udev libraries.
