    <para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: This parameter puts the
    pktloc and classid files in <filename class="directory">/etc/libnl</filename>
    which is their conventional location and recommended if you are building
    this package to enable <application>NetworkManager</application> on a
    desktop. If you are building this package for other reasons, you might
    prefer to use <parameter>--sysconfdir=/var/lib</parameter> so that these
    files, which are not expected to be edited, are placed in
    <filename class="directory">/var/lib/nl</filename>.  The default for a
    build with prefix <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> is, of course,
    to create a directory <filename class="directory">/usr/etc</filename> which
    is not desirable.</para>

    <para><option>--enable-static=no</option>: This switch prevents the static
    libraries being installed.</para>
