When emerging svgalib-1.9.19, if the kernel has been built outside the kernel tree (config-kernel --make-koutput=[whatever]), the kernel module is not built. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. config-kernel --make-koutput=2.6.7-gentoo-r5 2. make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install 3. emerge svgalib Actual Results: The libraries are compiled and installed as usual, but the kernel module is neither compiled nor installed. This is due to fact that the ebuild looks for the .config file in /usr/src/linux to detrmine if the kernel has modules enabled, but if the kernel is built outside the kernel tree, the file is not there but in /var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.x-whatever-ry. Expected Results: It should have checked whether the kernel was built in the source tree or outside it and look for the .config file in the proper place.

*** Bug 55079 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
i'm not about to go changing anything in svgalib to support this i'll leave the kernel team to tackle this since i dont care to
Why not? It should be nothing more than a few lines in the ebuild. I've never written an ebuild, and I'm at work with a WinXP system (so no diffs), but if you rewrite the kernel_supports_modules() function as: kernel_supports_modules() { grep '^CONFIG_MODULES=y$' /usr/src/linux/.config || grep \ '^CONFIG_MODULES=y$' $KBUILD_OUTPUT/$KV/.config >& /dev/null } it /should/ work (haven't tried it yet, though).
Make that $KBUILD_OUTPUT in the last comment $KBUILD_OUTPUT_PREFIX
make symlink /usr/src/linux point to /var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.x-whatever?

As written in other BUG reports about svgalib, I solved my problem giving /USE=build/ Honestly now I'm curious to understand why now it works...
Spanky, please look at comments #4 and #5 - probably the best way to examine a kernel .config is to look in $KBUILD_OUTPUT_PREFIX if non-null and the directory exists, and if not, fall back to /usr/src/linux By the way, a better way might be to check for the presence of /proc/modules as I guess this won't exist if the kernel doesn't support loading modules (but please check this!)
since more than just svgalib will care about checking for kernel features via .config, here's how the 'fix' is going to happen ... someone from the kernel config team will add a function or two to one of the kernel eclasses ... then they'll tell me what that function is and i'll have svgalib use it suggested functions: kernel_supports_modules() kernel_supports_feature([kernel feature to look for])
oops, i forgot to re-assign to the kernel team kernel guys: please review comment #10
Since this bug was opened, it has been said that config-kernel and kouput is not ready for use yet so we don't support it. But, good call on the config parsing / module check idea, I've now implemented this. inherit kernel-mod And check the return value of kernel-mod_modules_supported
Further simplification, no need to check return value of that, just include a call to "kernel-mod_check_modules_supported"
thanks guys, fixed svgalib in cvs to use the new kernel-mod function
