Al,
Ok, after looking at it a second time, I've noticed that they are the
same (I misread part of the file the first time) so sorry for the
confusion but regardless step 4 of the installation says the following:
#
Rebuild and install the kernel in the normal manner.
eg. make
If you are building TIPC as a loadable module, build net/tipc/tipc.ko
and install it in the standard manner.
Note: The README file in the top level directory of the kernel
source tree provides a more complete description of how to build the
Linux kernel and loadable modules.
Where is this README file?
Also, I'm forwarding some comments from Terry when he tried to build
TIPC and had problems because there is no top-level make file any
longer:
This is still not correct. It now needs to be built as part of the
kernel because I see that the makefile has changed to reflect that.
bash-3.1# make net/tipc/tipc.ko
make: *** No rule to make target `net/tipc/tipc.ko'. Stop.
Thanks,
Felix

Hi Felix:
Can you be more specific about the incorrect information you
encountered?
As far as I can tell, the user guide in the TIPC 1.7.5 bundle
(tipc_users_guide.txt, which is dated "24 July 2007" at the start of the
file) is identical to the one available on the TIPC web site.

I wasn't accidentally looking at it, because here's the link:
http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/tipc_1.7_users_guide.html#installation.
It appears that the information here is incorrect, but the users guide
that comes with the tar ball is correct.
Someone should update the link.
Thanks,
Felix

Hi Felix,
I guess you accidentially were looking at the users guide of 1.5/1.6.
Chapter four of the tipc_users_guide.txt, included in
tipc-1.7.5-bundle.tar.gz explains the build process.
In case you don't want to build the whole kernel but only the tipc
module you can just do
/usr/src/linux$ make net/tipc/tipc.ko after updating the TIPC
part of the kernel sources matching your kernel version as described in
the users guide.
Best regards,
Martin
