Instructions for creating + * a library from a given source tree can be found in the AVR-GCC user manual included in the WinAVR install + * /Docs/ directory. + * + * However, building the library is <b>not recommended</b>, as the static (compile-time) options will be + * unable to be changed without a recompilation of the LUFA code. Therefore, if the library is to be built + * from the LUFA source, it should be made to be application-specific and compiled with the static options + * that are required for each project (which should be recorded along with the library). + * + * Normal library use has the library components compiled in at the same point as the application code, as + * demonstrated in the library demos and applications. This is the preferred method, as the library is recompiled + * each time to ensure that all static options for a particular application are applied. + */ + |
