4. Building and installing KTF

To build KTF, clone the ktf project, then:

cd ktf
autoreconf

Create a build directory somewhere outside the source tree to allow the same KTF source tree to be used against multiple versions of the kernel. Assuming for simplicity that you want to build for the running kernel but you can build for any installed kernel-*-devel:

cd <a dedicated build tree for this kernel>
mkdir build
cd build
~/<path_to_source_root>/ktf/configure KVER=`uname -r`
make

Now you should have got a kernel/ktf.ko that works with your test kernel and modules for the examples and KTF selftest directories. You are ready to create your own test modules based on KTF!
