This is an experimental build system for media drivers.
|
|
All files on this tree are covered by GPLv2, as stated at COPYING file.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
Just call the build utility:
|
|
$ ./build
|
|
|
|
Then, install the drivers as root, with:
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
In order to test, unload old drivers with:
|
|
# make rmmod
|
|
|
|
Then modprobe the driver you want to test. For example, to load driver 'foo':
|
|
# modprobe foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're developing a new driver or patch, it is better to use:
|
|
$ ./build --main-git
|
|
|
|
Then, install the drivers as root, with:
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
In order to test, unload old drivers with:
|
|
# make rmmod
|
|
|
|
Then modprobe the driver you want to test. For example:
|
|
# modprobe bttv
|
|
|
|
In this case, in order to modify something, you should edit the file at
|
|
the media/ subdir.
|
|
|
|
For example, a typical procedure to develop a new patch would be:
|
|
|
|
~/media_build $ cd media
|
|
~/media $ gedit drivers/media/video/foo.c
|
|
~/media $ make -C ../v4l
|
|
~/media $ make -C .. rmmod
|
|
~/media $ modprobe foo
|
|
(some procedure to test the "foo" driver)
|
|
~/media $ git diff >/tmp/my_changes.patch
|
|
(email /tmp/my_changes.patch inlined to linux-media@vger.kernel.org)
