platform.

to function correctly).

Installation of PCI Utils
Install PCI Utils by running the
following commands:
make PREFIX=/usr \
SHAREDIR=/usr/share/hwdata \
SHARED=yes
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make PREFIX=/usr \
SHAREDIR=/usr/share/hwdata \
SHARED=yes \
install install-lib &&
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpci.so
Command Explanations
SHARED=yes
: This parameter
enables building of the shared library instead of the static one.
ZLIB=no
: This option prevents
compression of the pci.ids
file.
Configuring PCI Utils
The pci.ids
data file is constantly
being updated. To get a current version of this file, run
update-pciids as the
root
user. This program requires
the Which-2.21 script or program to
find cURL-7.76.0, Lynx-2.8.9rel.1
or Wget-1.21.1 which are used to download the most
current file, and then replace the existing file in /usr/share/hwdata
.
You should update the /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
file periodically.
If you've installed Fcron-3.2.1 and completed the
section on periodic jobs, execute the following commands, as
the root
user, to create a
weekly cron job:
cat > /etc/cron.weekly/update-pciids.sh << "EOF" &&
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/update-pciids
EOF
chmod 754 /etc/cron.weekly/update-pciids.sh
