dhcpcd - DHCP client daemon
Copyright 2006-2008 Roy Marples <roy@marples.name>


Installation
------------
Edit config.h to match your building requirements.
Then just make; make install
man dhcpcd for command line options


Notes
-----
If you're cross compiling you may need to set the below knobs to avoid
automatic tests.
OS=BSD | Linux

If you're building for an MMU-less system where fork() does not work, you
should add -DTHERE_IS_NO_FORK to your CPPFLAGS.
This also puts the --no-background flag on and stops the --background flag
from working.

You can change the default dir with these knobs.
For example, to satisfy FHS compliance you would do this:-
LIBEXECDIR=/lib/dhcpcd
DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd

We now default to using -std=c99. For 64-bit linux, this always works, but
for 32-bit linux it requires either gnu99 or a patch to asm/types.h.
Most distros patch linux headers so this should work fine.
linux-2.6.24 finally ships with a working 32-bit header.
If your linux headers are older, or your distro hasn't patched them you can
set CSTD=gnu99 to work around this.


Hooks
-----
Not all the hooks in dhcpcd-hooks are installed by default.
By default we install 01-test, 10-mtu, 20-resolv.conf and 30-hostname.
To add more simply add them in the HOOKSCRIPTS variable.
make HOOKSCRIPTS=50-ntp install


Compatibility
-------------
dhcpcd-5.0 is only fully command line compatible with dhcpcd-4.0
For compatibility with older versions, use dhcpcd-4.0

dhcpcd no longer sends a default ClientID for ethernet interfaces.
This is so we can re-use the address the kernel DHCP client found.
To retain the old behaviour of sending a default ClientID based on the
hardware address for interface, simply add the keyword clientid to dhcpcd.conf.
