Brian, while wondering if you were going to add your automake stuff to
the new selinux-small archive i went to
http://www.microcomaustralia.com.au/debian where the original was and
found nothing. Have you decided against using automake or providing this
on future releases? If you have, could you possibly give me the info to
do it myself and i'll support it here to anyone that needs it. Thank
you

Sorry about that, it got accidently removed when upgrading my archive.

The file should be back again in 5 minutes.

Thanks for putting that back :). The archive there is the 2002102211
one, are you planning on adding automake support in the newest
(20021212) archive? If not can you give me the info to do it? Thank you

Sorry I have been slow to respond, I have been busy the last week
or so.

I think I had instructions on what I did in one of my earlier E-Mails.
Mostly this just involves copying configure.in and all Makefile.am's
across from my version, however, there was on directory which required
significant source code modifications.

IIRC, the same *.c file was compiled many times with different
parameters to gcc, but automake doesn't make this very easy; I renamed
the *.c file to a *.h file, and created several different *.c files that
#define the appropriate values before #include the *.h file. I think
this directory was the only real problem I encountered, everything
else was very straightforward.

You will also need to change the version number in configure.in

Once this is done, run autoreconf to update th other files.

I don't think I will have time to keep this up-to-date with the latest
SE-Linux version, so it would be good if somebody could take over.

This was based on Russell's version, I am not sure how different
Russell's version is to the upstream code (if it is different).

To test it out, run "make distcheck", this will create a *.tar.gz file,
extract it, and try to compile it *in another directory*. If there are
any missing files, they will be highlighted here. It may have problems
locating the kernel source, I wasn't sure what the best way was of
solving this problem, so I hardcoded the default directory in
configure.in.

If you have problems, then please show me the full command line used and
the full error displayed, and I might be able to help.
