I always test by stuff during development by cd /sys/modules/netgraph cp -pr UI NEW_THING cd NEW_THING vi Makefile #point to new sources make depend; make this allows me to test jsut the new module without building the entire kernel. Specifically I may not even be ABLE to build a real kernel if the tree is broken but I don't care.. I can still build my module and work on killing warnings etc. without having to have a working config or even any built kernels. Will I still be able to do this? If I can cd to /sys/dev/ed and do "make module" that would suit me. > > Cheers, > -Peter > -- > Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au > "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ julian@elischer.org ( OZ ) World tour 2000-2001 ---> X_.---._/ v To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
