B Building a driver from sources
This appendix describes how to build a Linux driver from sources.
In some cases, it may be necessary to build the driver in your configuration locally. These
instructions for building the driver are required only if the driver was not installed from the driver kit
or from the HP driver RPM.
This appendix includes:
• Building a uniprocessor version of the driver, page 32
• Building a multiprocessor version of the driver, page 33
Note the following:
• The following instructions are provided for reference only.
• The process for building the driver on your system may differ slightly from these examples. The
examples are based on Linux systems with 2.4 kernels.
• To build a single-processor version of the qla2300 driver, see ”Building a uniprocessor version
of the driver” on page 32.
• To build a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) version of the qla2300 driver, see ”Building a
multiprocessor version of the driver” on page 33.
NOTE: You need the gcc compiler installed on your system. If it is not installed, do so now.
