Compile the package:

make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PREFIX=/usr BINDIR=/sbin SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
    DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/dhcpcd

Install the package

make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PREFIX=/usr BINDIR=/sbin SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
    DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/dhcpcd install

N32

Compile the package:

make CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" PREFIX=/usr BINDIR=/sbin SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
    DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/dhcpcd

Install the package

make CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" PREFIX=/usr BINDIR=/sbin SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
    DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/dhcpcd install

64Bit

Configure the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/sbin \
   --sysconfdir=/etc --dbdir=/var/lib/dhcpcd --libexecdir=/usr/lib/dhcpcd

Compile the package:

Configuring

Network Service

Install the dhcpcd service included in the bootscripts package:

make install-service-dhcpcd

Example Configuration

install -v -d /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0 &&
cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/dhcpcd << "EOF"
ONBOOT="yes"
SERVICE="dhcpcd"
DHCP_START=""
DHCP_STOP="-k"

# Set PRINTIP="yes" to have the script print
# the DHCP assigned IP address
PRINTIP="no"

# Set PRINTALL="yes" to print the DHCP assigned values for
# IP, SM, DG, and 1st NS. This requires PRINTIP="yes".
PRINTALL="no"
EOF
