User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/lsof
To run the tests, the following option should be enabled in the kernel configuration:
General setup --->
[*] POSIX Message Queues [CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE]Install lsof by running the following commands:
./Configure -n linux && make
The tests should be run as the root
user. They require that the POSIX message queues are enabled in the
kernel, and that Nmap-7.92 be installed with a symbolic link
/usr/bin/nc pointing to ncat.
make check
One test, case-20-ux-socket-endpoint, is known to fail. Other test may fail if the tests are run in a script.
Now, as the root user:
install -v -m4755 -o root -g root lsof /usr/bin && install -v lsof.8 /usr/share/man/man8
./Configure -n linux: Avoid AFS, customization, and inventory checks, and use the linux dialect.
install -m4755 ...:
lsof should be suid
root to allow users to list all files. This may be a security
threat on some systems. In that case change to -m755 and use sudo to run the program.
