fp@198: Building and installing
fp@1721: =======================
fp@1721: 
fp@1721: The first two steps are only necessary, if the kernel sources to compile
fp@1721: against are not those of the running kernel.
fp@198: 
fp@198: 1) Create a copy of the configuration template:
fp@198: 
fp@198:   $ cp ethercat.conf.tmpl ethercat.conf
fp@198: 
fp@198: 2) Adjust the variables in the configuration file to your needs.
fp@198: 
fp@198: 3) Build the EtherCAT master and network device driver modules:
fp@198: 
fp@198:   $ make
fp@198: 
fp@198: 4) Install the the EtherCAT master (as root):
fp@198: 
fp@198:   # make install
fp@198: 
fp@198:   This will create the following files and directories:
fp@198:     - /etc/sysconfig/ethercat (configuration file)
fp@198:     - /etc/init.d/ethercat    (startup script)
fp@198:     - /usr/sbin/rcethercat    (link to startup script)
fp@198: 
fp@1721:   The modules will be placed in /lib/modules/<KERNEL>/ethercat
fp@198:   (where <KERNEL> is the Linux kernel version configured in ethercat.conf).
fp@198: 
fp@1721: 5) Adjust the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/ethercat to your needs.
