-Kernel headers (why it doesn't compile) :
----------------------------------------
- Some changes in the kernel headers and glibc headers are
-making my life difficult. We now have a mechanism to automatically
-select the proper header based on various bits of information (libc
-version & kernel version), but it may fail to do the right thing.
- You may also see the message :
- "Your kernel/libc combination is not supported"
- If this happens to you, you will need to hack the rules at the
-top of iwlib.h and send me the patch.
-
- The second issue is that some distributions install some
-independant kernel headers in /usr/include. If you upgrade your
-kernel, those headers become out of sync and you don't benefit from
-the latest Wireless Extensions. Even worse, it can sometimes prevent
-the tools from compiling.
- The trick is to copy the file .../include/linux/wireless.h
-from the kernel to the /usr/include headers.
-
-Multi-kernel installation (expert only) :
----------------------------------------
- People who run different kernel on the same system may have
-problems due to the fact that those kernel have different version of
-Wireless Extensions and the Wireless Tools need to match the version
-of Wireless Extension used.
+Create a local copy of the tools :
+--------------------------------
+ By default, the package is built with iwlib as a dynamic
+library, and the tool will expect to use the default version of libiw
+on the system.
+ If you just want to experiment with a "local" version of the
+tools, you may want to pass the BUILD_STATIC flag to Makefile. It will
+create a self contained version of the tools.
+-------------
+make clean
+make BUILD_STATIC='y'
+-------------
+ The resulting binary can be used in the compilation directory
+or installed in any place you like.
