Hi Folks,

I'm pulling my hair out in frustration at the assumptions
that get made about what other people know...

I've just copied qcamdriver v1.1 and I haven't the faintest idea
how to go about re-compiling a lkm.

It is distributed with a hierarchy under freebsd/sys.  I'm
wondering if there is some mechanism under FreeBSD for compiling
using a separate source hierarchy for the new files, or if I simply
have to copy all the individual files into /usr/src/sys/i386/...,
merge sys/i386/conf/files.i386.diff into /sys/i386/conf/files.i386,
etc.

ALSO, there is a sys/i386/i386/conf.c.diff.freebsd but there is no
conf.c in /sys/i386/i386!!

Can someone please give me the necessary info to get this driver
built?   Please send me a mail at urban@rto.dec.com.

Rob Urban

P.S., this should be in the documention!  and to say "look at
/usr/share/examples/lkm" is NOT NOT NOT an answer to "where can I
find DOCUMENTATION for writing lkm drivers"
