Tim,
1. Does TDEHWLIB require pmount? Although available as a third-party
package --- something similar to PPAs --- pmount is not a stock package in
Slackware. Slackware 14.0 no longer supports HAL but supports udisks,
udisks2, and upower.
Yes, it requires pmount. No, I am not going to support udisks and friends
due to the fact that they require the use of DBUS, and every time I
attempt to do anything with DBUS I come away battered and bruised. ;-)
Not only that, but there is a history of radical API changes that makes it
hard to justify the effort required to get them working.
2. If -DWITH_HAL=ON and -DWITH_TDEHWLIB=ON, does
TDEHWLIB override during
run-time? If yes, can TDEHWLIB be disabled at run-time, or only during
compiling?
Darrell
All overrides are at compile time.
