%general-entities; ]> libnl The libnl suite is a collection of libraries providing APIs to netlink protocol based Linux kernel interfaces. &lfs120_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libnl-md5sum; Download size: &libnl-size; Estimated disk space required: &libnl-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libnl-time; Optional Download Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libnl-doc-md5sum; Download size: &libnl-doc-size; Install libnl by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-static && make If the make command was executed with multiple parallel jobs enabled, it might disrupt the terminal mode and cause some amusing visual effects. In the worst case, this issue may cause keyboard inputs not displayed on the screen at all (but you can still run any command if you can type it correctly). Run the reset to fix such an issue. If you wish to run the tests, check that the following options are enabled in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary. Some of them may not be strictly needed, but they should support a complete test coverage. To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install If you wish to install the API documentation, as the root user: mkdir -vp /usr/share/doc/libnl-&libnl-version; && tar -xf ../libnl-doc-&libnl-version;.tar.gz --strip-components=1 --no-same-owner \ -C /usr/share/doc/libnl-&libnl-version; --disable-cli: Use this parameter if you don't want to install cli tools provided by the package.
