Hi Andreas,

after a kernel update I had to do the whole reinstall of pcfclock again,
so I thought I just make
an install procedure on RedHat (probably Fedora Core 1 as well) for
pcfclock.

Here it is:

--------------------------

1) Make sure the kernel source of the the kernel you are running is
installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4
(which is actually a link to the the real directory, e.g.
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-27.9).

2) Goto this kernel source directory (/usr/src/linux-2.4).

3) Check kernel version, command "uname -r" (e.g. 2.4.20-27.9 is output)

4) Edit Makefile in /usr/src/linux-2.4, make sure the first four lines
match the output of 3), so for this case:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 20
EXTRAVERSION = -27.9
(RedHat usually has -27.9custom or something as extraversion, remove the
custom word)

5) Do a "make mrproper"

6) Copy from the /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs directory the proper config
file for this kernel,
kernel-2.4.20-i686.config is a reasonable choice. Copy it to the
/usr/src/linux-2.4 directory and rename it .config

7) Do "make xconfig", don't edit, just save and quit

8) Do "make dep"

9) Now you can do the normal install for pcfclock (i.e. ./configure,
make, make install)

--------------------------

Maybe you could add it to your INSTALL or README file?

For now, happy Christmas and a good and healthy 2004.

Bye for now,
