Yeah, the book still has 0.5.9.1, which is pretty old now - it was released about 2 years ago, and things have moved a lot since then. > I tried a more recent version of Hal, but it seems to have quiet a few > more deps these days : Consolekit and something else, that I can't > compile either. Shouldn't be too many more dependencies than in the book. For 0.5.12, my scripts list dbus-glib, ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, pciutils, usbutils, eject, and acl, although not all of them are actually mandatory. Let me know what you're having trouble with, and I might be able to help... That said, this is one of those points in time where things are a little messy - there are a lot of changes going on around that level of the stack. Short version is that Hal will soon be disappearing, it's core functionality merged into udev, and the rest split into the DeviceKit family of projects. Simon.
