Description Andy Dalton 2005-07-11 11:39:15 UTC

When emerging 'usb-pwc-re', I get the following output.  It correctly identifies  the proper kernel sources (here 2.6.12-gentoo-r4), but tries to compile against the current running kernel version (here 2.6.11-gentoo-r11).  The expected behavior is that it should be built against the kernel version found in '/usr/src/linux'.  The current implementation prevents this driver from being rebuilt against a new kernel until after that kernel has been booted.

Software Version:  media-video/usb-pwc-re-10.0.6a

If you need any further information, please let me know.  Thanks!

Also, when glibc compiles, it checks for kernel version from "uname", athought
it obviously compiles from /usr/src/linux. I don't know if this is relevant, but
it's similar and annoying.

No, it is totally irrelevant.

Thanks for the hint. I currently don't have access to my development box, so
this could take a little time.

Some good fairy pushed the right button - just declared 10.0.7 stable for x86.
Please try this version.

Comment 5 Andy Dalton 2005-07-13 02:21:42 UTC

Yep, the 10.0.7 ebuild takes care of it.  Thanks!
