+This file describes how to build wcn36xx with backports
+It assumes you have a prepared cyanogenmod built somewhere already
+
+1) Open up a terminal
+2) Change to a directory where you'll keep your git repositories like ~/git/
+3) Checkout backports
+ # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/backports.git
+
+4 Checkout linux-next
+ # git clone --no-checkout git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
+ The --no-checkout is there to save space since backports will pickout the relevant stuff anyway.
+
+5) Checkout wcn36xx from upstream or your own branch
+ # git clone git at github.com:KrasnikovEugene/wcn36xx.git
+
+6) Prepare backports
+ # cd backports
+ # cp ../wcn36xx/backports/0001-wcn36xx-backports-config.patch .
+ # git am 0001-wcn36xx-backports-config.patch
+
+7) Generate a build tree
+ Stay in the backports folder and do a git log
+ Find the first commit that says something like:
+ "This puts us in sync with next-20130618"
+ Then execute the command:
+ # ./gentree.py --verbose --clean --git-revision next-20130618 --copy-list copy-list.mac80211 --extra-driver ../ copy-list.wcn36xx ../linux-next/ ../backport-wcn
+
+ This command will create the folder ../backport-wcn where it will put all the necessary linux stuff from linux-next.
+ It will also apply a number of patches, if any of these fail you must sort it out otherwise the build folder will
+ not be ready.
+
+8) # cd ../backport-wcn
+
+9) Time to build!
+
+ # export CM_BUILD=mako
+ # export CM_ROOT=~/mako/cm-10.1
+ This sets up some links to your cm build
+
+ # make KLIB=$CM_ROOT/out/target/product/$CM_BUILD/obj/KERNEL_OBJ \
+ KLIB_BUILD=$CM_ROOT/out/target/product/$CM_BUILD/obj/KERNEL_OBJ \
+ ARCH=arm \
+ CROSS_COMPILE=$CM_ROOT/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- \
+ defconfig-wcn36xx
+
+ This executes the defconfig for the environment
+
+
+ # make KLIB=$CM_ROOT/out/target/product/$CM_BUILD/obj/KERNEL_OBJ \
+ KLIB_BUILD=$CM_ROOT/out/target/product/$CM_BUILD/obj/KERNEL_OBJ \
+ ARCH=arm \
+ CROSS_COMPILE=$CM_ROOT/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-
+
+ Builds the module and all necessary compat/cfg80211/mac80211 modules as well.
+
+10) Symlink wcn36xx driver to your own repository
+
+ The gentree.py command will copy the driver from the place you pointed out.
+ In this case '../'. However, if you want to work on it I recommend replacing the
+ folder with a symlink to where you have your repo for wcn36xx.
+ # rm -rf drivers/net/wireless/ath/wcn36xx
+ # ln -s ~/git/wcn36xx drivers/net/wireless/ath/wcn36xx
+
+NOTES FOR OSX:
+To make this run on OSX (Mountain Lion) I had to do some changes.
+1) The make commands shall not use the same path for the CROSS_COMPILE option. "linux-x86" must be replaced with "darwin-x86".
+
+2) The Makefile in backport-wcn must be modified.
+ The comment on line 101 looking like this:
+ # RHEL as well, sadly we need to grep for it ;\
+ It must be remove or else you will get a bash error.
+
+3) You must modify the kconf/Makefile
+ To the first line in this file (beginning with CFLAGS) add -DKBUILD_NO_NLS to the end.
+ Otherwise you will get a lkc.h error when building.
