libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. It moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.6 systemd platform.

Install libevdev by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make
If you have the optional Check-0.9.14 package installed, the regression
tests can be run as the root user
with make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
