For adding a new protocol, create a directory, net/xx for example, and add your files there (af_xx.c etc.). You have to add something like this in net/Config.in: bool 'Protocol XX' CONFIG_XX if [ "$CONFIG_XX" = "y" ]; then # eventually, if you have source net/xx/Config.in # other things to # configure, specific to # your protocol You need also to modify net/Makefile by adding: subdir-$(CONFIG_XX) += xx and add something like this in net/xx/Makefile: O_TARGET := xx.o obj-y := af_xx.o include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make You could also add something in Documentation/Configure.help for describing your the options you added. Read the files from Documentation/kbuild/ for more informations about configuration language and the Makefile structure. Good luck. -- Catalin _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
