Kmod Prepare Kmod for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/bin \ --libdir=/lib \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-xz \ --with-zlib lib* and --with-* These options enable Kmod to handle compressed kernel modules. The shell variables are required in order for the xz and zlib headers and libraries to be found in the absence of pkg-config. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check Install the package, and create symlinks for compatibility with Module-Init-Tools, the package that previously handled Linux kernel modules: make pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig install for target in depmod insmod modinfo modprobe rmmod; do ln -sv ../bin/kmod /sbin/$target done ln -sv kmod /bin/lsmod Installed programs Installed libraries depmod (link to kmod), insmod (link to kmod), kmod, kmod-nolib, lsmod (link to kmod), modinfo (link to kmod), modprobe (link to kmod), and rmmod (link to kmod) /lib/kmod.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 libkmod This library is used by other programs to load and unload kernel modules libkmod 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
