[School-GNU-Linux] Re: compiling sis190.c driver file

To compile the driver,

1) You need to install the build-essential package (install it from synaptic)
2) Some times the kernal modules requires to install header files for
the kernel. ( install the kernel-headers package for your kernel
version, you can find the version of kernel you are using with the
command uname -r
3) if you installed everything required, then enter into the directory
where you keep the source code of the driver and issue the command
make (the readme or INSTALL file have the complete instructions)
