Hi
All.
First some
background:
I'm working on a
little project where I have taken the scsi_debug kernel module, hacked it (lots)
so as it now appears as a Virtual Tape Library (+ user daemons to handle the
SSC/SMC target portion).
The user-space
daemons I've managed to package up within an RPM without too much
trouble.
My problem
is:
Is there any easy
way to automate the kernel module build process for any 2.6.x kernel this may be
installed on ?
On SLES 9, there is
a 'make cloneconfig' which does a really nice job of taking the currently
running kernel config and applying to the kernel source. A make modules will
then create a kernel module that will install into the current
kernel.
RedHat AS4 is a
different kettle of fish.
I've yet been able
to build just the kernel module and have it install into the current kernel i.e.
a RedHat shipped kernel. Even though I've installed the kernel-source rpm
for the current kernel.
I am hoping there
are sample / examples of a recommended way to handle this. I really can't see my
hacks getting into the kernel proper, so I'm hoping for a (some) external build
process to ease the process for non-linux savvy people.
Cheers
