This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-6.5 platform.

If you intend NOT to install polkit, you will need to manually edit the ConsoleKit.conf file to lock down the service. Failure to do so may be a huge SECURITY HOLE.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/consolekit
Install ConsoleKit by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/ConsoleKit --localstatedir=/var \ --enable-pam-module && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--enable-pam-module
: This
switch enables ConsoleKit to use
Linux-PAM authentication. Remove
this option if Linux-PAM is
NOT installed.
--enable-docbook-docs
: Use this
parameter if xmlto is installed
and you wish to build the API documentation.
