Building and installing

    10

=======================

    11

    12

The first two steps are only necessary, if the kernel sources to compile

    13

against are not those of the running kernel.

    14

    15

1) Create a copy of the configuration template:

    16

    17

  $ cp ethercat.conf.tmpl ethercat.conf

    18

    19

2) Adjust the variables in the configuration file to your needs.

    20

    21

3) Build the EtherCAT master and network device driver modules:

    22

    23

  $ make

    24

    25

4) Install the the EtherCAT master (as root):

    26

    27

  # make install

    28

    29

  This will create the following files and directories:

    30

    - /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)

    31

    - /etc/init.d/ethercat    (startup script)

    32

    - /usr/sbin/rcethercat    (link to startup script)

    33

    34

  The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/<KERNEL>/ethercat

    35

  (where <KERNEL> is the Linux kernel version configured in ethercat.conf).

    36

    37

5) Adjust the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/ethercat to your needs.
