Thanks for the tip Mantas! So I suppose there is no 'make install udevd libudev' style syntax to handle that aspect. If not, no worries. I am creating a profile for a software builder I made that can handle the installation of those files otherwise. Currently I am building a software repository for a Linux distro I have built (XiniX) that started as a fork of another distro, but their own repo is a disaster. Neither theirs nor mine has the meson builder. IIRC, I think I briefly looked at creating a package for it, but ran into issues. I'm sure you are aware that rebuilding a repo from scratch is no small feat so I moved on to others since it does not appear that a lot of software uses it. I do have plans to add it at some point, but in the instances that a software project does use it, typically the prior version from the most current does not use it (which is what I end up using). Although I need to upload the latest version, if you're interested, the builder can be found at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/software-builder/?source=directory XiniX OS: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xinix/?source=navbar Info about the repo: https://forums.cliquesoft.org/index.php?topic=31.0 Thanks again for your help!
