>So should I describe it to change in the Makefile or do we move >this time (only the setting of the MACRO) to the `Config' file ? Neither. Because then you are making prloader a rloader, and przloader a rzloader and that's a sort of a lie. The simplest way to achieve what you want is to edit the rules for the target NIC in Roms and change PRLOADER to RLOADER, and PRZLOADER to RZLOADER. Only 4 lines need to be changed for a given NIC. Then you will prepend a legacy ROM header when you make that NIC's .rom and .lzrom images. Only don't let the file Roms be regenerated from the file NIC. If you are keen, then you can figure out what needs to be changed in genrules.pl so that it will not prepend PCI headers in the absence of PCI IDs for that NIC, even if it's a PCI NIC. Then you can just delete the IDs from the line in NIC and it will generate a rule for a legacy ROM. If you are really keen you could work out a way of generating the tables in config.c from NIC. Then adding a new variant of a supported controller should only require one edit. The genrules.pl script has served well, but is showing its age. Now that would be a truly useful contribution. |
