[dm-devel] Compiling/linking applications using libdevmapper

[Yathindra]

Hi,

Actually, I'm using some of the API's from libdevmapper and as such I'm 
not installing device mapper.
So I'm linking my application by using -ldevmapper, but for devmapper 
library (-ldevmapper), do I need
to build the device mapper part from lvm2 src ?

Thanks again,
Yathi
