# DHCPCD-&dhcpcd-version;

The DHCPCD package provides a DHCP Client for network configuration.

## 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:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/sbin \
        --sysconfdir=/etc --dbdir=/var/lib/dhcpcd --libexecdir=/usr/lib/dhcpcd

Compile the package:

    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Install the package:

    make install
