libdrm-2.4.70
Introduction to libdrm
libdrm provides a user space
library for accessing the DRM, direct rendering manager, on
operating systems that support the ioctl interface. libdrm is a
low-level library, typically used by graphics drivers such as the
Mesa DRI drivers, the X drivers, libva and similar projects.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.10
platform.

libdrm Dependencies
Recommended
Xorg
Libraries (for Intel KMS API support required by Mesa)
Optional
Cairo-1.14.6 (for tests), docbook-xml-4.5,
docbook-xsl-1.79.1 and libxslt-1.1.29 (to build manual pages),
Valgrind-3.11.0, and CUNIT (for AMDGPU tests)

Installation of libdrm
Install libdrm by running the
following commands:
sed -i "/pthread-stubs/d" configure.ac &&
autoreconf -fiv &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-udev &&
make
To check the results, issue make
check. Tests may hang for unknown reasons. If
nouveau threaded test hangs, you can disable it with sed -i 's/^TESTS/#&/'
tests/nouveau/Makefile.in.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
sed -e "/pthread-stubs/d" -i
configure.ac: This sed removes a dependency on the
libpthread-stubs package which is useless on Linux.
--enable-udev: This
parameter enables support for using Udev instead of mknod.
