You might add a README or INSTALL file which says
==========================================
to build the tools issue the command
make
to install the tools issue the command
make install
==========================================
I know this seems rather obvious but many people will look for
README or INSTALL to tell them what to do.
In the FAQ you might add:
==========================================
Q. Why won't the code compile with compiler optimization turned on (-O2)
under gcc 2.96 (redhat special), gcc 2.95.3, or gcc 3.04?
A. Remove '-Werror' from CFLAGS in the Makefile. The usage of minsize
and maxsize in Create.c leads the compiler to stop due to a
perceived error.
A. Alternately, re-write the code to make the compilers happy, and
post it to the linux-raid list.
==========================================
In Manage.c line 132 'int i' is declared. On line 155 it is referenced.
Where is it set?
In Create.c line 58 declares 'int i' and it is referenced on lines 131 &
132 without an intervening assignment. At least so far as I can tell.
