Building and installing
=======================
The first two steps are only necessary, if the kernel sources to compile
against are not those of the running kernel.
The building and installation procedure is described in section 2.1 in the
EtherCAT master documentation:
1) Create a copy of the configuration template:
documentation/ethercat-doc.pdf
$ cp ethercat.conf.tmpl ethercat.conf
2) Adjust the variables in the configuration file to your needs.
3) Build the EtherCAT master and network device driver modules:
$ make
4) Install the the EtherCAT master (as root):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# make install
For the impatient:
This will create the following files and directories:
- /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)
- /etc/init.d/ethercat (startup script)
- /usr/sbin/rcethercat (link to startup script)
The procedure mainly consists of calling
The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/<KERNEL>/ethercat
(where <KERNEL> is the Linux kernel version configured in ethercat.conf).
./configure
make
make install
5) Adjust the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/ethercat to your needs.
...and copying the init script and sysconfig files from $prefix/etc to the
appropriate locations and customizing the sysconfig file.
