[Lcd4linux-devel] Make driver patch ready for commit

[Stefan K. <ste...@gm...>]

Hello,

I (and a mate) try to make the dpf driver [1] clean and ready for commit
to lcd4linux svn and use for fli4l.
It has an own little lib that wie will seperate in an subfolder.
The driver works at one of other guys, but I've a problem with the check
for the lib.

Or to you think, because of it is in svn too I don't need a check for it?

Regards and a happy new year,
Stefan Kuhne

As soon as I can have a look at the patch, I may be able to tell :-)

I've upload my last version to [2].
The check is in dpf_mod.patch and the lib is in dpflib.patch.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks a lot, I applied two of your patches (dpf_drv.patch and dpf_mod.patch) and committed your changes.

Currently I'm not sure how to deal with libdpf. I don't think its a good idea to include the code in lcd4linux. So the 
driver won't compile because autoconf will not find the library.

Any ideas anyone?

Yes, that's fine!

I think about something lik -L or LDFLAGS.

put them in a "standard" place, and autoconf (configure) should find them. If e.g serdisplib is installed on my system, 
configure will detect it automatically.

Note that configure produces a (very detailled) logfile "config.log" which should explan all the checks configure does. 
basically it creates a "test.c file" and tries to compile it. You can see the contents of this test file in config.log

I think if libdpf.h can be found in /usr/include (or /usr/local/include) and the lib in /usr/lib (usr/local/lib) 
everything should be fine.


But maybe someone with deeper autoconf knowledge can correct me.
