     9 Building and installing
       
    10 ==========================
       
    11 
       
    12 1) Create a copy of the configuration template:
       
    13 
       
    14   $ cp ethercat.conf.tmpl ethercat.conf
       
    15 
       
    16 2) Adjust the variables in the configuration file to your needs.
       
    17 
       
    18 3) Build the EtherCAT master and network device driver modules:
       
    19 
       
    20   $ make
       
    21 
       
    22 4) Install the the EtherCAT master (as root):
       
    23 
       
    24   # make install
       
    25 
       
    26   This will create the following files and directories:
       
    27     - /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)
       
    28     - /etc/init.d/ethercat    (startup script)
       
    29     - /usr/sbin/rcethercat    (link to startup script)
       
    30 
       
    31   The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/<KERNEL>/kernel/drivers/net
       
    32   (where <KERNEL> is the Linux kernel version configured in ethercat.conf).
