Hello Simon,
There are a few projects that do this; however none of them uses
automake to build the makefiles for the kernel objects; rather, they
have a Makefile.in that is not autogenerated, accepts the
substitutions for the install paths etc. and calls the kernel Makefile
with appropriate variables for a normal out-of-tree module build. Simon
Can you point me to similar open source projects. I am mostly curious
what solution they chose for distributing the driver binaries after they
have been built. In the case of userspace programs and libraries the
autotools primitives (PROGRAMS, LTLIBRARIES) take care of all the rules
(install uninstall dist distcheck etc.). Perhaps there could be some
good ideas on how to distribute drivers.
Regards,
Vladimir
