I know it's not the perfect place to ask for, but the Comedi project seems to be quiet (dead?) for a lot of months, and I figured, that eventually some people who did the job already can help me out. Unfortunately I have to get a DAQ device working and the so called "drivers" and "support" from the manufactor ****** me really of; IMHO they're a case for gplviolations.org, since the drivers only come for 3 certain distributions in the versions as they are sold in the self boxes. The kernel module is precompiled, no not only a BLOB but merely a precompiles .ko for the kernels that ship with the distribution CDs. And the supported Distributions are old. Not from the stone ages, but thinking of ancient rome kinda comes close to it. At first I really liked GKH's "Instrumentation I/O", but seeing how industry cares I don't know if it was really such a great idea. Ah, were was I? Right: Building the Comedi kernel modules. Making the lib was easy enough, but it seems, that Comedi bypasses the kbuild system (if that is to support multiple kernel versions why not just deliver separate Makefiles and then make -F ?). Diging in the google archive I found the suggestion, just to turn the Makefiles into kbuild ones. I had the same idea, but OTOH I'm probably not the only one with the same need, so eventually someone already got those Makefiles done. In that case I'd really apreciate, to get those. Sorry for the large "venting"-overhead, but you should see that e-mail in my draft box I'd really like to send the guy who suggested me: "reconfigure your kernel, to make the module work"; OTOH that poor guy probably only looked up the company's knowlegde base, which is probably maintained by a groom. Happy coding Wolfgang - *grrrr* (not against comedi, but the ignorant hardware industry) - Draxinger -- E-Mail address works, Jabber: [email protected], ICQ: 134682867 GPG key FP: 2FC8 319E C7D7 1ADC 0408 65C6 05F5 A645 1FD3 BD3E
