1 Open vSwitch for Debian
4 * How do I build this module the Debian way?
6 - Building with module-assistant:
8 $ module-assistant auto-install openvswitch-datapath
10 $ m-a a-i openvswitch-datapath
12 If kernel source or headers are in a non-standard directory, add
13 the option -k /path/to/kernel/source with the correct path.
15 - Building with make-kpkg
18 $ tar jxvf openvswitch.tar.bz2
19 $ cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.26
20 $ make-kpkg --added-modules=openvswitch modules
22 - Building without make-kpkg
25 $ tar jxvf openvswitch.tar.bz2
26 $ cd modules/openvswitch
27 $ fakeroot debian/rules kdist_image
29 If you run this as root, fakeroot is not needed.
