*	Add Linux Compat Infrastructure	Brian Behlendorf	2011-02-10	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Lay the initial ground work for a include/linux/ compatibility directory. This was less critical in the past because the bulk of the ZFS code consumes the Solaris API via the SPL. This API was stable and the bulk Linux API differences were handled in the SPL. However, with the addition of a full Posix layer written directly against the Linux APIs we are going to need more compatibility code. It makes sense that all this code should be cleanly located in one place. Subsequent patches should move the existing zvol and vdev_disk compatibility code in to this directory.
*	Support custom build directories and move includes	Brian Behlendorf	2010-09-08	1	-0/+32
	One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can build the project various different ways while making changes in a single source tree. For example, this project is designed to work on various different Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This means that changes need to verified on each of those supported distributions perferably before the change is committed to the public git repo. Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier. I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a change to the source base I suspect may break things I can concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each in their own subdirectory. wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz cd zfs-x-y-z ------------------------- run concurrently ---------------------- <ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system> mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6 cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6 ../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure make make make make make check make check make check make check This change also moves many of the include headers from individual incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single top level include directory. This has the advantage of making the build rules cleaner and logically it makes a bit more sense.
