Kmod Prepare Kmod for 32-bit compilation: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig \ ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libdir=/usr/lib32 \ --with-rootlibdir=/lib32 \ --with-xz \ --with-zlib \ CC="gcc -m32" --with-xz, --with-zlib These options enable Kmod to handle compressed kernel modules. --with-rootlibdir=/lib32 This option ensures different library related files are placed in the correct directories. Compile the package: This package does not come with a test suite that can be run in the LFS chroot environment. At a minimum the git program is required and several tests will not run outside of a git repository. Install the package: make install Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform: make mostlyclean Prepare Kmod for x32 ABI compilation: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/libx32/pkgconfig \ ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libdir=/usr/libx32 \ --with-rootlibdir=/libx32 \ --with-xz \ --with-zlib \ CC="gcc -mx32" --with-xz, --with-zlib These options enable Kmod to handle compressed kernel modules. --with-rootlibdir=/libx32 This option ensures different library related files are placed in the correct directories. Compile the package: make This package does not come with a test suite that can be run in the LFS chroot environment. At a minimum the git program is required and several tests will not run outside of a git repository. Install the package: make install Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform: make mostlyclean Prepare Kmod for 64-bit compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-rootlibdir=/lib \ --with-xz \ --with-zlib --with-xz, --with-zlib These options enable Kmod to handle compressed kernel modules. --with-rootlibdir=/lib This option ensures different library related files are placed in the correct directories. Compile the package: make This package does not come with a test suite that can be run in the LFS chroot environment. At a minimum the git program is required and several tests will not run outside of a git repository. Install the package, and create symlinks for compatibility with Module-Init-Tools (the package that previously handled Linux kernel modules): make install for target in depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod; do ln -sv ../bin/kmod /sbin/$target done ln -sv kmod /bin/lsmod Installed programs Installed library depmod (link to kmod), insmod (link to kmod), kmod, lsmod (link to kmod), modinfo (link to kmod), modprobe (link to kmod), and rmmod (link to kmod) libkmod.so Short Descriptions depmod Creates a dependency file based on the symbols it finds in the existing set of modules; this dependency file is used by modprobe to automatically load the required modules depmod insmod Installs a loadable module in the running kernel insmod kmod Loads and unloads kernel modules kmod lsmod Lists currently loaded modules lsmod modinfo Examines an object file associated with a kernel module and displays any information that it can glean modinfo modprobe Uses a dependency file, created by depmod, to automatically load relevant modules modprobe rmmod Unloads modules from the running kernel rmmod libkmod This library is used by other programs to load and unload kernel modules libkmod
