Add dkms support. #11

Closed Joe136 closed 5 years ago

Joe136 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I have added dkms.conf to automatically update the driver on kernel update.

In addition, this can be added to the Makefile (dkms needs to know the version).

DKMS = dkms

dkms_install: VERSION = $(shell grep 'PACKAGE_VERSION' dkms.conf | grep -oEe '[0-9.]+')
dkms_install:
   $(DKMS) add .
   $(DKMS) install emlog/$(VERSION)

dkms_remove: VERSION = $(shell grep 'PACKAGE_VERSION' dkms.conf | grep -oEe '[0-9.]+')
dkms_remove:
   $(DKMS) remove emlog/$(VERSION) --all
   rm -rf /usr/src/emlog-$(VERSION)

I added the Makefile

in addition, I included the other targets to .PHONY
I used MVER for the version
/usr/src can be changed in /etc/dkms/framework.conf or dkms --sourcetree /usr/src
- I'm not sure how to detect the correct path, so I commented the rm command

I changed dkms.conf

MAKE_CLEAN is not needed
I added a documentation
