Re: [trinity-devel] Tim: TDEHWLIB

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.
