Backporting wl1271 driver to kernel-2.6.32 using compat-wireless

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
                  I have a quick question. 

I downloaded the http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.37/compat-wireless-2.6.37-rc6-3.tar.bz2

The information contained in this link mentions: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/

"You need kernel headers to compile compat-wireless. Ensure /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ exists and points to the location where the kernel headers are installed. If you do not have them, read your distribution's documentation on getting help."

I have Ubuntu 10.04 as host, but I'm using a cross compiler for the OMAP3530 ARM target, and the kernel directory exists in a separate folder. 

How do I tell the build system to use my cross compiled kernel libraries and headers, and not pick up the host /lib/modules kernel headers? 

i.e. how can I cross compile and build compat-wireless for the ARM target on the host machine? 

cd /path/to/compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc5
./scripts/driver-select <driver-name>
make
sudo make install


Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
