Emerging media-video/qc-usb 0.6.2 or 0.6.3 fails, due to a Makefile variable being incorrectly set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge media-video/qc-usb Actual Results: Emerge failed, got this error message: awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/build/include/linux/version.h' for reading (No such file or directory) then stacks of errors. Expected Results: Emerged cleanly The problem is that the ebuild sets the variable KERNEL_DIR with the path to the current kernel, but the Makefile is expecting the variable LINUX_DIR. Trivial to fix; see patch in next response.
Created attachment 56823 [details, diff] qc-usb-0.6.3.ebuild.patch This patch will allow qc-usb to install on my system. I don't see how other people can have it installed without this patch, but clearly they do. Also, because I forgot the emerge info in the bugreport proper: Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20050125-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 17 2005, 10:25:02)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.9.5, 1.6.3, 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r8 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/portage /usr/local/overlays/bmg-main" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X Xaw3d a52 aac acl alsa apache2 audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb caps cdparanoia cjk crypt cups curl curlwrappers divx4linux dv dvd dvdr dvdread encode exif flac ftp gd gdbm geoip gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 iconv imap imlib jack java javascript jpeg ladcca libg++ lzo mad mailwrapper matroska mhash mikmod mime mmx mng mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre perl pic png portaudio posix postgres python quicktime readline samba sdl sharedext simplexml slang sockets speex spell spl sqlite sse ssl symlink sysvipc tcpd tetex tga theora threads tidy tiff tokenizer truetype unicode v4l vorbis wxwindows xml xml2 xpm xsl xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
thanks for the patch. i (and others) have been able to merge this because we compile the module with the current running kernel verison. as long as the current running version and the one in /usr/src/linux is the same, then you shouldn't have any problems not defining LINUX_DIR. with that said, the ebuild was wrong and i'm committing your changes to 0.6.2/3 :)
