Please increase priority :) Erik gullevek@gullevek.org 2003-08-05 01:25:06 0000 svgalib-1.9.17-r2 fails too because he wants /usr/src/linux/includes/linux/modversions.h and this does not exist there in 2.4 and is in config/modversions.h in 2.5/6 azarah@gentoo.org 2003-08-05 14:02:31 0000 Ok, here is the story: 1) It will only work with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, and _not_ 2.5 kernels. 2.5 is in the past, get over it 8) 2) You need a kernel with module support, which thus have a modversions.h header: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- azarah@nosferatu azarah $ ls /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/modversions.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/modversions.h azarah@nosferatu azarah $ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) You will only have a version.h, modversion.h, etc _temporary_ headers if you run 'make dep' in 2.4 kernels, and for 2.6 - err, start the compile for a while :/ Questions ? :) azarah@gentoo.org 2003-08-06 11:40:47 0000 Anyhow, should be fixed for 2.4/2.6 kernels. svein.brostigen@oracle.com 2003-08-06 11:49:08 0000 No, it is not fixed as far as I can see. I just tried to compile svgalib-1.9.17-r2 against mm-sources (2.6.0-test2-mm4) and it can still not find modversions.h. The reason is that it looks for it in the wrong place: Here is a typical example: gcc -O2 -DLINUX -Dlinux -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_MODNAME="svgalib_helper" -I/var/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.9.17-r2/work/svgalib-1.9.17/kernel/svgalib_helper/include -I. -I/lib/modules/2.6.0-test2-mm4/build/include -I/lib/modules/2.6.0-test2-mm4/build/include/asm/mach-default -DSVGALIB_HELPER_MAJOR=209 -DMODVERSIONS -include /lib/modules/2.6.0-test2-mm4/build/include/linux/modversions.h -M *.c > .depend Now the file, modversions.h, is located here: /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test2-mm4/include/config/modversions.h Hence the problem is not solved and it still requires manual intervention in order to get it to build. The header file does not exist under /lib/modules/2.6.0-test2-mm4 either and I do use modules as the output of lsmod shows: Module Size Used by snd_pcm_oss 58148 0 snd_pcm 108192 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 16388 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 31620 1 snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 23680 1 snd_pcm_oss snd 59620 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss azarah@gentoo.org 2003-08-06 13:18:54 0000 Bleh, sorry guys - I did try to test as best possible, but I forgot that my 2.5/6 kernels do not have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set anymore. Should really be fixed in -r3 =)
