Introduction to HAL
<Package Description Needed>
Dependencies
As of hal-0.5.8 libvolume_id.so (From Udev) is a required dependency. On multilib systems you must have more then one copy of this library, (32bit,64bit,N32). Please refer to the clfs-svn book for information on configuring a multilib udev. WARNING: Installing a newer or older version of udev then what is currently installed on your system can cause problems booting because of the frequent changes in the rules format. Please use the same version you currently have, or make the appropriate changes/upgrades to your rule set.

Optional
HalDaemon User/Group
groupadd -g 19 haldaemon && useradd -c "HAL Daemon User" -d /dev/null \ -u 19 -g haldaemon -s /bin/false haldaemon
Configuration Information
If you have Parted installed and you would like to link HAL against libparted pass the following to configure:
--enable-parted
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal --localstatedir=/var && make
Install the package
make install && install -v -m755 -d /var/run/hald
Command Explanations
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal: This parameter forces the installation of libexec files to /usr/lib/hal instead of /usr/libexec.
--localstatedir=/var: This parameter forces the creation of the pid file to /var/run/hald instead of /usr/var/run/hald.
Multilib
32Bit
Compile the package:
export USE_ARCH=32 && CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal --localstatedir=/var && make
Install the package
make install && unset USE_ARCH
N32
export USE_ARCH=n32 && CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib32 \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal --localstatedir=/var && make
Install the package
make install && unset USE_ARCH
64Bit
export USE_ARCH=64 && CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib64 \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/hal --localstatedir=/var && make
Install the package
make install && unset USE_ARCH && install -v -m755 -d /var/run/hald
Configuration
Bootscript
Install the bootscript from the blfs-bootscripts package with the following command:
make install-haldaemon

Installed Programs: | hal-device, hal-device-manager, hal-find-by-capability, hal-find-by-property, hal-get-property, hal-set-property, hald and lshal |
---|---|
Installed Libraries: | libhal.{so,a} and libhal-storage,{so,a} |
Installed Directories: | /etc/hal, /usr/include/hal, /usr/lib/hal, /usr/share/doc/hal-0.5.14, /usr/share/hal and /var/run/hald |
Short Descriptions
hal-device | is used to create, remove or show a HAL device. |
---|---|
hal-device-manager | shows a graphical representation of all the devices HAL is aware of. This program requires GNOME-Python. Here is a screenshot of hal-device-manager communicating with the HAL daemon and displaying a tree of device objects. The shown properties in the screenshot are for a device object representing a hard disk. |
hal-find-by-capability | prints the Unique Device Identifiers for HAL device objects of a given capability. |
hal-find-by-property | prints the Unique Device Identifiers for HAL device objects where a given property assumes a given value. |
hal-get-property | retrieves a property from a device. |
hal-set-property | attempts to set property for a device. Note that, due to security considerations, it may not be possible to set a property. |
hald | is the HAL daemon program. |
lshal | shows all devices and their properties. If the --monitor option is given then the device list and all devices are monitored for changes. |
libhal.{so,a} | contains the API functions required by the HAL programs. |
libhal-storage.{so,a} | contains the API functions required by the HAL storage and volume utility programs. |
