The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide - Installation
Note: You have to be `root
' to un-install the driver. Either you login as root or do a `su
' at the shell prompt.
The makefile contains an `uninstall
' target. Note the makefile
tries to remove the modules from the directory that is configured in the
file
[/usr/src/ftape-4.04/]MCONFIG
only. If you have edited MCONFIG and changed the
installation path prefixes after running `make install
' then
`make uninstall
' will try to remove the files from the new
locations which might not be what you want. Also, if running `make uninstall
' with a new version of ftape may not remove all the files
of the old release of ftape if the defaults for the installation
paths have changed or if some of the modules or helper utilities have
vanished from the new release.
The installation paths in question can be configured by editing
[/usr/src/ftape-4.04/]MCONFIG.
As the ftape helper utilities are now shipped with the separate
ftape-tools
distribution there is only a single variable
left
MODULESDIR = /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/misc
where $(KERNEL_VERSION)
is set by MCONFIG to the version
of the kernel ftape is compiled for.
Simply typing
make uninstall
in the top directory of the ftape sources will result in the following actions.
`./ftape/lowlevel/ftape.o
', `./ftape/zftape/zftape.o
', `./ftape/zftape/zft-compressor.o
', `./ftape/internal/ftape-internal.o
', `./ftape/parport/trakker.o
', `./ftape/parport/bpck-fdc.o
'
from MODULESDIR
.
/dev/
' are not removed with
`make uninstall
'.
