I run debian unstable and i'm used to build the wacom
module by replacing wacom.c (along with hid.c and friends if needed)
in the debian source with the proper wacom.c from the linuxwacom tarball.
Is this way of building the driver possible now with kernel 2.6.18?
Now in the src/2.6.18 dir of the linuxwacom source there's only the
header: wacom.h
What shall i do with this? Shall i replace my
/usr/src/linux/include/usb/wacom.h with this and build the same way as
before?
It is possible to build wacom.ko inside your kernel source. But you need to
copy 4 files, wacom.h (from src/2.6.18), wacom_sys.c, wacom_wac.c, and
wacom_wac.h (from src/2.6.16) and add
wacom-objs := wacom_sys.o wacom_wac.o
to the Makefile related to wacom module. Email me your Makefile if you
don't know how to add it.
There was something mentioning building from the kernel source tree in
the howto... but i can't find it anymore.
This change is new. I haven't updated the webpage yet. I'll do it soon.
You may wonder why we wanted to split the files. It is to make kernel
driver updating easier. Starting from kernel 2.6.19, all 4 files will be in
the kernel tree.
