Install UDisks by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--disable-static \
--enable-available-modules &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check. A more
thorough test can be run with make ci. You must first
create the directories
/var/run/udisks2 and
/var/lib/udisks2, and the optional
python modules should be present.
Now, as the root user:
make install
--disable-static: This switch prevents
installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild
and install the API documentation.
--enable-available-modules: This switch enables
additional UDisks2 functionalities if
libblockdev-3.0.4 has been built with optional
dependencies.
