- Use the latest source snapshot available at
http://www.cs.uit.no/~dagb/irda/snapshots
- Untar the package with ``tar xvzf linux-irda-<VERSION>''. I recommend to do this in /usr/src.
- Edit the Makefile if you are using module versions, want proc file system support (2.0.x only), and if you want printer server or LAN server support.
- Uncomment
#USE_PROC. This is optional but highly recommended for debugging purposes.
- Do a ``make depend''.
- Do a ``make clean'' (only necessary if you compile more than one time).
- Do a ``make install'' (brings all the modules and irattach into the right place).
- For latest improvements look into the FAQ section below.
- What Makefile options are available:
- MODVERSIONS: You will only need this if you have defined
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y in /usr/src/linux/.config (Loadable module support).
USE_PROC: If you want proc filesystem support (2.0.x only).
USE_SYSCTL: No description available.
ESI_DONGLE: For use with Extended System Inc. dongle (experimental).
PRINTER_SERVER: No description available.
LAN_SERVER: No description available.
- Both
PRINTER_SERVER and LAN_SERVER are mutually exlusive !!!
