For installing only necessary files, could you please try follows ? - Uninstall elfutils-0.125 # cd elfutils-0.125 # make uninstall # - Make elfutils-0.125, and install only the library files. # make clean # ./configure # make # # mkdir /usr/local/include/elfutils/ # cp ./libdw/libdw.h /usr/local/include/elfutils/libdw.h # cp ./libdw/dwarf.h /usr/local/include/dwarf.h # cp ./libelf/libelf.h /usr/local/include/libelf.h # cp ./libelf/gelf.h /usr/local/include/gelf.h # # cp ./libelf/libelf.a /usr/local/lib/libelf.a # cp ./libdw/libdw.a /usr/local/lib/libdw.a # cp ./libasm/libasm.a /usr/local/lib/libasm.a # cp ./libebl/libebl.a /usr/local/lib/libebl.a # If there are not any problems, I will add the above method to README file.
