compiling pcmcia-source

2001-05-17 Thread Robert Voigt
I want to compile the pcmcia-source package. The documentation says the kernel source must be configured (make config dep). It does not discribe a way to build the modules without compiling a new kernel, but I don't want to compile a kernel. I just want to compile the pcmcia modules for my 2.2.
