fp@198: Building and installing
fp@355: =======================
fp@355: 
fp@1331: The complete build and installation procedure is described in the respective
fp@1331: section of the documentation available from http://etherlab.org/en/ethercat.

fp@785: For the impatient: The procedure mainly consists of calling
fp@380: 
fp@1883: $ ./boostrap # to create the configure script, if downloaded from the repo
fp@1883: 
fp@487: $ ./configure
fp@1331: $ make all modules
fp@380: 
fp@1331: ... and as root:
fp@487: 
fp@1331: # make modules_install install
fp@1106: # depmod
fp@487: 
fp@1331: ... and linking the init script and copying the sysconfig file from $PREFIX/etc
fp@1017: to the appropriate locations and customizing the sysconfig file.
fp@1017: 
fp@1017: # ln -s ${PREFIX}/etc/init.d/ethercat /etc/init.d/ethercat
fp@1017: # cp ${PREFIX}/etc/sysconfig/ethercat /etc/sysconfig/ethercat
fp@1017: # vi /etc/sysconfig/ethercat
fp@1017: 
fp@1214: Make sure, that the 'udev' package is installed, to automatically create the
fp@1214: EtherCAT character devices. The character devices will be created with mode
fp@1214: 0660 and group root by default. If you want to give normal users reading
fp@1214: access, create a udev rule like this:
fp@1017: 
fp@1017: # echo KERNEL==\"EtherCAT[0-9]*\", MODE=\"0664\" > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-EtherCAT.rules
fp@1017: 
fp@1017: Now you can start the EtherCAT master:
fp@1017: 
fp@1017: # /etc/init.d/ethercat start
fp@1017: 
fp@1081: Have a look at the examples/ subdirectory for some application examples.
fp@1081: 
fp@1017: Have fun!
