Re: Adding a new driver

I had a hard time with this as well, if I recall correctly the 
documentation was not quite right.  Let's assume you would like to add a 
driver named "my_driver.c":

1. edit comedi-0.7.68/comedi/drivers/Makefile.am and add my_driver.ko to 
the module_PROGRAMS target
2. add the line:
my_driver_ko_SOURCES = my_driver.c

to the same file, but in the section below the section mentioned in step 1.

3. Now change directory to comedi-0.7.68
4. Re-run automake (it has to be at least version 1.7.9 or it won't work).

5. Run ./configure and you should be able to compile your new driver.
