Don't generate static device files at install time.
* Most users use udev anyway * Don't attempt to create any device files in the 'install' target. * Setting DYNFS at build time should no longer be needed - Though remains harmless. * In order to create the static device files, use the script: build_tools/make_static_devs git-svn-id: http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/dahdi/linux/trunk@8034 a0bf4364-ded3-4de4-8d8a-66a801d63aff

+Static Device Files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Userspace programs communicate with the DAHDI modules through special
+device files under /dev/dahdi . Those are normally created by udev, but
+if you use an embedded-type system and don't wish to use udev, you can
+generate them with the following script, from the source directory:
+
+ ./build_tools/make_static_devs
+
+This will generate the device files under /dev/dahdi . If you need to
+generate them elsewhere (e.g. `tmp/newroot/dev/dahdi`) use the option -d
+to the script:
+
+ ./build_tools/make_static_devs -d tmp/newroot/dev/dahdi
