Hello Ping,
Thank you for your reply. I had read the page you mentioned, but I think I
was trying to tackle the "Linux problem" the wrong way. With a simple
32-bit system, things are less complicated.
I went back to my CLFS instructions and looked through other instructions
I had and came up with this line. I assume it did what I hoped it would
do, since everything worked fine.
For the 32-bit:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" USE_ARCH=32 ./configure
--prefix=/usr --x-libraries=/usr/lib --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --disable-xserver64 --enable-dlloader
--with-arch=32 --with-xlib=/usr/lib --enable-wacom
For the 64-bit:
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" USE_ARCH=64 ./configure
--prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --x-libraries=/usr/lib64
--enable-xserver64 --enable-dlloader --with-arch=64 --with-xlib=/usr/lib64
--enable-wacom
The only problem seems to be the kernel module did not get installed. I
see it build in the src/2.6.19 directory.I suppose this is because the
wacom kernel driver was not built as a module (or, in fact, at all)?
I went back and configured it as a module in the kernel and just copied
the src/2.6.19/wacom.ko in the modules' directory, manually. Should I have
rebuilt it?

option unless you explicitly define it. If you only need to build for
your own system, a ./configure is good enough in most cases.
