2.3. Building mpd

If you choose to build mpd yourself to customize it, the process is straightforward. First, edit the Makefile to define (or undefine) the various device types and options you want to support. Then type make depend all to rebuild the binary.

The various build-time definitions in the Makefile are below:

MPD_CONF_DIR

The default configuration directory where mpd looks for mpd.conf, mpd.links, etc.

PHYSTYPE_MODEM
PHYSTYPE_TCP
PHYSTYPE_UDP
PHYSTYPE_NG_SOCKET
PHYSTYPE_PPTP
PHYSTYPE_L2TP
PHYSTYPE_PPPOE

Define these to include support for the corresponding device type.

COMPRESSION_PRED1
COMPRESSION_DEFLATE

These enable support for the corresponding compression types.

ENCRYPTION_DES

These enable support for the corresponding encryption types.

SYSLOG_FACILITY

Mpd normally logs via syslog(3) using the facility LOG_DAEMON. You can customize the facility here.
