OpenRC README # OpenRC README
OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the
system-provided init program, normally `/sbin/init`. Currently, it does
not have an init program of its own.
## Installation
OpenRC requires GNU make.
Once you have GNU Make installed, the default OpenRC installation can be
executed using this command:
Installation
------------
make install make install
Yup, that simple. Works with GNU make.
You may wish to tweak the installation with the below arguments ## Configuration
You may wish to configure the installation by passing one or more of the
below arguments to the make command
PROGLDFLAGS=-static PROGLDFLAGS=-static
LIBNAME=lib64 LIBNAME=lib64
DESTDIR=/tmp/openrc-image DESTDIR=/tmp/openrc-image

We don't support building a static OpenRC with PAM.
You may need to use PROGLDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bstatic on glibc instead of just -static.
If you debug memory under valgrind, add -DDEBUG_MEMORY to your CPPFLAGS
so that all malloc memory should be freed at exit.
If you are building OpenRC for a Gentoo Prefix installation, add
MKPREFIX=yes.
You can also brand OpenRC if you so wish like so
BRANDING=\"Gentoo/$(uname -s)\" BRANDING=\"Gentoo/$(uname -s)\"
PKG_PREFIX should be set to where packages install to by default. ## Notes
LOCAL_PREFIX should be set when to where user maintained packages are.
Only set LOCAL_PREFIX if different from PKG_PREFIX. We don't support building a static OpenRC with PAM.
PREFIX should be set when OpenRC is not installed to /.

They should be filed under the "Gentoo Hosted Projects" product and
the "openrc" component. If you are using Gentoo Linux, bugs can be filed on their bugzilla under
the "gentoo hosted projects" product and the "openrc" component [1].
Otherwise, you can report issues on our github [2].
Better yet, if you can contribute code, please feel free to submit pull
requests [3].

We have an official irc channel, #openrc on freenode, feel free to join
