Make it clear that when building directly from the Git tree the configure script must be manually generated by running the autogen.sh script. This requires that the GNU autotools packages be installed for your distribution. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes zfsonlinux/zfs#1448

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides
|
|
many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to
|
|
run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal
|
|
modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track
|
|
upstream Solaris development closely and do not want the overhead of
|
|
maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux
|
|
primitives.
|
|
|
|
To build packages for your distribution:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make pkg
|
|
|
|
If you are building directly from the git tree and not an officially
|
|
released tarball you will need to generate the configure script.
|
|
This can be done by executing the autogen.sh script after installing
|
|
the GNU autotools for your distribution.
|
|
|
|
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin
|
|
compilation:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
|
|
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
|
|
|
|
