4-3 Building
and
Installation
To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run ‘rpmbuild -tb <fi lename.tar.gz>’.
Replace <fi lename.tar.gz> with the specifi c fi le name of the driver.
NOTES:
For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST match the version
and confi guration of the installed kernel sources. If you have just recompiled the
kernel reboot the system now.
PM functionality has only been tested in Red Hat distributions.
Building a Binary RPM Package
Move the base driver tar fi le to the directory of your choice. For example, use
‘/home/username/e1000’ or ‘/usr/local/src/e1000’.
Untar/unzip the archive, where <x.x.x> is the version number for the driver tar
fi le:
tar zxf e1000-<x.x.x>.tar.gz
Change to the driver src directory, where <x.x.x> is the version number for
the driver tar:
cd e1000-<x.x.x>/src/
