It would seem from the document you've provided (great idea), the name of the
makefile is clm_config.h, not makefile_clm_config.h.

make -f clm_config.h should do it for you.  Good luckI NEVER run alpha
software on a machine I where I care whether it works or not.

"make" is a utility that interprets the commands in a "makefile" and does a
compile of some code.  Since you've got a makefile, just execute make (from the
commandline) in the directory where it resides.  If that should not work for
some reason, type "make -f makefile_name"  Type "man make" for more
information.

By the way, your English is great!!

I haven't got any idea.

[newbie] Problems with drivers

2000-09-30 Thread Jose Noel Del Papa

Hello, my name is Noel and I'm new in this mailing list and in the use of
Linux Mandrake. I don't speak English very well. I hope they understand me.

Recently install Linux Mandrake 7.0. This operating system doesn't accept my
modem (Jaton - Cirrus Logic Chipset) neither my sound card Yamaha (YMF-724).

I have found in Internet the drivers for these devices, but i don't know
that to make with them. The readme file says:

1- First you must gather some information about your modem: I know the IRQ
and I/O address.
2- Once you have edited "clm_config.h" for example: I edit that file and
modify the data (IRQ and I/O).
3- Just run "make" and the package will be compiled: I don't know run " make
". Is this a function of Linux or an application? Where this? In the files
that it download, there is a "makefile". Is this the file that I should run?
As execute files in Linux?

Another question, which is the procedure to register user Linux?

Greeting and thanks for the help
