Browse Source 
Prune standard configure flags and focus on the most important, whatever
they may be.  Mention --disable-inetd and describe how --enable-static
works.

optional plugins to enable. Below are a few of the main switches to
configure:
* `--prefix=`: Base prefix path for all files, except `--sbindir` and
`--sysconfdir`. Used in concert with the `DESTDIR` variable.
Defaults to `/`, i.e. `""`.
* `--sbindir=`: Path to where resulting binaries should install to. Used
in concert with the `DESTDIR` variable.
Defaults to `/sbin`.
* `--sysconfdir=`: Path to where finit configuration files should
install to. Used in concert with the `DESTDIR` variable.
Defaults to `/etc`, but is currently unused. It is up to the user
to set up suitable `/etc/finit.conf` and `/etc/finit.d/*.conf`.
* `--disable-inetd`: Disable the built-in inetd server.
* `--enable-embedded`: Target finit for BusyBox getty and mdev instead
of a standard Linux distribution with GNU tools and udev.
* `--enable-static`: Build Finit statically. The plugins will be
built-in (.o files) instead. Note: very untested in Finit3!
* `--enable-rw-rootfs`: Most desktop and server systems boot with the
root file stystem read-only. With this setting Finit will remount it
as read-write early at boot so the `bootmisc.so` plugin can run.
Usually not needed on embedded systems.
* `--disable-inetd`: Disables the built-in inetd server.
* `--enable-static`: Build Finit statically. The plugins will be
built-ins (.o files) and all external libraries, except the C library
will be linked statically.
* `--enable-alsa-utils`: Enable the optional `alsa-utils.so` sound plugin.
* `--enable-dbus`: Enable the optional D-Bus `dbus.so` plugin.
* `--enable-lost`: Enable noisy example plugin for `HOOK_SVC_LOST`.
* `--enable-resolvconf`: Enable the `resolvconf.so` optional plugin.
* `--enable-x11-common`: Enable the optional X Window `x11-common.so` plugin.

**Note:** If you run into problems starting Finit, take a look at
`finit.c`. One of the most common problems is a custom Linux kernel
build that lack `CONFIG_DEVTMPFS`. Another is too much cruft in the
