Hi Richard, Welcome Back! It's been a long time. If you are building LFS-7.5, the hint should be ok. I've been using eudev in almost all of my builds since February last year (I used Bruce's udev-from-systemd a couple of times on builds to test things in BLFS which I normally don't build, once each for BLFS-7.4 and 7.5, and once when I was testing the effects of using make-4.0). For me [ single wired ethernet connection, no wifi ] it works well. I fix the nic naming back to eth0 with: echo "# dummy, so that network is once again on eth0" \ >/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules (I don't recall if that is in the hint). For recent LFS-svn, with the 20140404 bootscripts, the following symlinks work for me without changing any of the details of the eudev configure (the sysv-systemd changes mean that udevd has its systemd name and location, and LFS's udevadm is in /sbin instead of /bin, so the udev parts of the bootscripts look for the new name/locations) : mkdir -pv /lib/systemd ln -sfv /sbin/udevd /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd ln -sfv /sbin/udevadm /bin (as always, I use -f in case the install breaks and I have to repeat it). On desktops, to build gudev repeat eudev after all the deps are in place, omitting --disable-gudev [ and --disable-introspection if you build anything in gnome which needs that : I only build gucharmap and evince, as of 3.10 they don't require introspection; and omit --disable-keymap if you need it ].
