I'm having a great fun here looking for haiku source code and I have a
lot of questions regarding the compile process.
Let's assume that I change a device driver(for instance
intel_extreme/driver.cpp), so I got into intel_extreme directory and
run the "jam" command. As far as I see the compiled files stay under
an directory called "generated" in haiku source.
This is correct.
There's a command(or a parameter to jam) to apply all changed/compiled
binaries to haiku under /boot/system ?
HAIKU_INSTALL_DIR=/boot jam -q update-install intel_extreme
This will compile the target named in tel_extreme and automatically move
it to the correct destination based on the destination directory
specified by HAIKU_INSTALL_DIR.
2 things to note:
1 - Depending on wha6t you compile, doing this may end up resulting in a
crash as some (all?) drivers are automatically picked up by the system
and reloaded whenever possible.
2 - This, being a video driver, will probably require am app_server
restart which can be achieved in an easy way by rebooting. :)
I need to rebuild all system every time I change something?
Nope. See above.
Anybody can point me to a documentation where I can solve this doubts?
You can check the ReadMe files in the source dir.
Is this the right list for these questions?
AFAIK, yes. But there has been a recent discussion about this and I am
not sure about the conclusion. In any case, feel free to ask me anything
you want.
