Installation of Umockdev

Install Umockdev by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/umockdev-0.14.2&&
make

To test the results, issue: PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin make check. The addition to PATH is needed if you use the starting scripts in The Bash Shell Startup Files, because some tests need to run udevadm.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--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.
