(This is probably a bit techical for 'questions' -- I'd welcome a suggesstion of a more appopriae forum.)
Is there a detailed description anywhere of the mechanics of *how* config(8) does what it doess? I'm looking fo the gory detail of how, sayi, 'device bpf' causes the creation of the file 'opt_bpf.h' containing '#define DEV_BPF 1" _Part_ of the magic is the sys/conf/files* and sys/conf/options* files, but their format/content isn't defined anywhee I've found. rerason for asking -- I want to addd a cutom device driver into the kernel. I have sources, and can build the .o, if i convert it to a .ko, it loads and run. *BUT* I want to embed it in the kernel at build time. "Somewhere", I have do define 'device foo', specify that that name adds 'myfoo_sys.o' to the kernel object-files list, and that myfoo_sys.o depends on a list of source files, and requires a particular sequence of commands to build from those shources. I know the 'what', just not the 'where' or 'how'. Any pointers appreciated. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
