README for lkdcutils

This directory contains various libraries, tools, and documentation
necessary for integrating LKCD system crash dump facilities into the
operating system. Before building the lkcdutils package, you must
configure lkcdutils for a particular target architecture and kernel
source tree. The 'configure' script should be used for this purpose.
Executing the 'configure' script without any paramaters will cause it
to use the current system architecture and /usr/src/linux as default
values for ARCH and TOPDIR. To configure lkcdutils for a different
architecture and/or kernel source tree, use one of the following
command line options:

	 --help             Print this message
	 --arch=ARCH        Target system architecture
	 --topdir=TOPDIR    Top level directory of kernel source tree
	 --outfile=OUTFILE  Output file name

Once ARCH and TOPDIR have been set, you can build the lkcdutils
package by simply doing a make.

Notice that there are a number of steps in the LKCD
setup/configuration process that require manual intervention. Make
sure to read the README file in the scripts directory regarding the
manual installation of the 'installkernel' and 'rc.sysinit' system
scripts.
