Last time I looked, there was no "make check" option in udev-from-systemd, I assume that the upstream tests needed far more infrastructure than was available in a non-systemd LFS. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
