compile error: 'DMEVENTD_PATH' undeclared

Hi list,

if i compile lvm2 (from today) with this configure:

./configure --with-thin=internal --with-cache=internal --with-replicators=internal --enable-udev_sync --enable-udev_rules

then the following occures:
.
.
.
make -C lib
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/lvm2/lib'
gcc -c -I. -I../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDM_IOCTLS -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wmissing-noreturn -Wformat-security -Wredundant-decls -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wmissing-include-dirs -Wfloat-equal -Wstrict-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wjump-misses-init -Wclobbered -Wempty-body -Wignored-qualifiers -Wmissing-parameter-type -Wold-style-declaration -Woverride-init -Wtype-limits -Wsync-nand

make[1]: *** [config/config.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/lvm2/lib'
make: *** [lib] Error 2
.
.

if i take
./configure --with-thin=internal --with-cache=internal --with-replicators=internal --enable-udev_sync --enable-udev_rules --enable-cmdlib --enable-dmeventd

all compiles fine. But I dont know, what dmevetd-flag is good for. Do i run into problems on a Ubuntu 12.04, if i enable additionally --enable-cmdlib --enable-dmeventd
before installing?

Tfh!

The dmeventd is a device monitoring daemon that monitors mirror, raid, snapshot and thin pool devices and acts on mirror legs being gone, snapshots/pool devices filling up etc... Normally, you should always use dmeventd if you're also using these kinds of volumes as it provides automatic predefined actions.

The problem is in --disable-dmeventd that causes the DMEVENTD_PATH to be undefined here. It should be fixed now:

Thanks for the report!
