Hi all,
The device I'm developing works nicely, and it is time to write a custom
Linux driver. I've copied the Skeleton driver into the image subdirectory,
and changed the name to 'weasel'. In the usb/image/Kconfig file, I added
the lines:
config USB_WEASEL
tristate "New driver from the madman"
depends on USB
help
Say Y here if you've lost your mind.
Then into the /usb/image/Makefile I added the line:
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_WEASEL) += weasel.o
and into file /usb/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_WEASEL) += image/
If you haven't guessed by now, I'm a total makefile hack, and am completely
guessing how the Linux kernel system really works. I'm just copying the
format from other files.
When I run Xconfig the option comes up fine. When I subsequently run make
modules, I get the message:
No rule to make target 'drivers/usb/image/weasel.c', needed by
'drivers/usb/image/weasel.o'. Stop.
Hmm. I've noticed that a hidden file seems to get produced for each
compiled module, called something like .scanner.o.cmd, however it will not
for my weasel driver. What am I missing? Am I going about the whole
compile operation the hard way?
Thanks,
Ethan.
