the linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8 ebuild assumes that you have compiled your kernel in your KERNEL_DIR and ingnores the fact that it is very much possible to compile the kernel somewhere else by using KBUILD_OUTPUT. This is easily fixed: --- /usr/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8.ebuild 2007-05-09 16:30:52 +0000 +++ linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8.ebuild 2007-06-20 07:36:42 +0000 @@ -55,7 +55,11 @@ cp ${S}/config.in ${config} echo "TARGET_ROOT_ON_HOST=${D}" >> ${config} - echo "LINUX_SRC=${KERNEL_DIR}" >> ${config} + if [ -n "${KBUILD_OUTPUT}" ] ; then + echo "LINUX_SRC=${KBUILD_OUTPUT}" >> ${config} + else + echo "LINUX_SRC=${KERNEL_DIR}" >> ${config} + fi echo "FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware/" >> ${config} echo "PRISM2_PCI=n" >> ${config} echo "PRISM2_PLX=n" >> ${config}
kernel: Does the patch look ok to you?
no, as LINUX_SRC should always be passed to the -C option for make when it descends into kbuild. the output directory should be specified in the O variable assignment in the same make statement. There currently is none, so you'll have to hack the makefiles to make this work.
has the reported bug something to do with my error ??? : * Preparing p80211 module make -C /usr/src/linux M='/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211' WLAN_SRC=/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r3' CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211mod.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211conv.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211req.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211wep.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211wext.o CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.o /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211wext.c:451:2: warning: #warning "get rid of p2mib here" /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.c: In function ‘p80211netdev_startup’: /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.c:170: error: ‘proc_net’ undeclared (first use in this function) /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.c:170: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.c:170: error: for each function it appears in.) /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.c: In function ‘p80211netdev_shutdown’: /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.c:199: error: ‘proc_net’ undeclared (first use in this function) make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211/p80211netdev.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src/p80211] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r3' make: *** [default] Error 2 * * ERROR: net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 3231: Called linux-mod_src_compile * environment, line 2483: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * eval "emake HOSTCC=\"$(tc-getBUILD_CC)\" CC=\"$(get-KERNEL_CC)\" LDFLAGS=\"$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)\" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS} " || die "Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CC="$(get-KERNEL_CC)" LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}"; * The die message: * Unable to emake HOSTCC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc LDFLAGS= WLAN_SRC=/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/work/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.8/src default * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-modules-0.2.8-r1/temp/environment'.
Markus, this is probably due to the changes in the new 2.6.24 kernel. I've raised a ticket to bump the ebuild to the next version (see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247898)
I suspect this bug might be a consequence of bug # 331467 which I have just reported.
Things have happened since 2007.
