The DHCPCD package provides a DHCP Client for network configuration.

8.6.1. Environment Settings

8.6.2. Installation of DHCPCD

If you wish to configure your network to connect to a DHCP server, you will first need to install a DHCP client. CLFS uses the DHCPCD package for this.

Prepare DHCPCD for compilation: 

make PREFIX=/usr BINDIR=/sbin SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
    DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/dhcpcd

This package does not come with a test suite.

Install the package: 

make PREFIX=/usr BINDIR=/sbin SYSCONFDIR=/etc \
    DBDIR=/var/lib/dhcpcd LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/dhcpcd \
    DESTDIR=${CLFS} install
