udev - changing libsysfs header file location

udev - changing libsysfs header file location

[Patrick Mansfield]

Hi Greg -

The location of the libsysfs headers is different when building with udev
versus building against the installed sysfsutils.

Can you bk mv the libsysfs header files to the same subdirectory as seen
after installing sysfsutil? And then apply patch being sent as a followup
email.

That is, move the headers located under udev libsysfs to libsysfs/sysfs.

This would avoid problems with extras programs that want to build with and
without udev, for example scsi_id ;-)

To clarify here's the current scsi_id hack, it will not always work right
when building udev without klibc, as it will either pick up the locally
installed versions of /usr/include/sysfs/libsysfs.h, or if sysfsutils is
not installed fail compilation:

#ifdef __KLIBC__
/*
 * Assume built under udev with KLIBC
*/
#include <libsysfs.h>
#else
#include <sysfs/libsysfs.h>
#endif

Ok, I just moved the libsysfs.h file, the other ones were not necessary.
I then edited your patch to handle this and applied it.

thanks,
