Open-source driver - Make config - Right choices?

Open-source driver - Make config - Right choices?

Postby Golffies » Thu Aug 22, 2019 2:51 am

Hello Steven,

When building the open-source driver, make config gives access to a lot of option, usefull for selecting the devices which to build a driver for. May you give a short list of the mandatory options which have to be switched to 'Yes', when compiling drivers only for the TBS8922?

The TBS' GitHub wiki instructs to use make allyesconfig. This makes no sense when building the driver for one single model only. Actually, make allyesconfig triggers the build to be completed for all possible DVB devices. It can only bloat the system and take too much time to complete.

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer,

may you point me to the documentation for the professional that explains which flags to switch to yes in the configuration file, in order to build the driver for your 8922 card only? Or just give me the instructions here and now?

Regards.
