Installing the BASP TAR Archive
Use the procedures in this section to install Linux i386 distributions that
are neither Red Hat nor United Linux distributions. Installing the BASP
TAR archive involves both uncompressing the archive and then installing
it.
To uncompress and expand the tar archive, run:
% tar xvfz basplnx-{version}.{arch}.tgz
To install the BASP TAR archive, perform the following procedure:
1. After extraction, change to the directory where the BASP source files
are located.
% cd basplnx-{version}
2. To build a kernel module, "basp.o":
% make
Note
The Make process automatically builds the correct module for
different kernel options, for example, symbol versioning and SMP
support. Do not define -DMODVERSIONS in the Makefile.
3. To create device file and to copy files:
% make install
4. To update the module reference:
% depmod -a
5. To load the driver:
% insmod basp
6. To set up the teams, see “BASP Configuration and Startup for Other
Linux Distributions” on page 76.
