build.log

Nvidia drivers not compiles with new kernel from portage tree.
I saw warning, that officially supports only kernels < 3.10 but earlier drivers builds fine with this warning. Now build fails with:
    error: implicit declaration of function ‘create_proc_entry’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

and so on(full build log attached).

Maybe mask this version of kernel until nvidia makes drivers for it?

I'm using gentoo-sources.

(Quoting Doug Goldstein from bug #447566 comment #56)
> It is and has always been Gentoo's policy to support what NVIDIA supports. The current versions of the drivers do not support 3.10. You are more than welcome to use the capabilities of epatch_user (which are present in all the ebuilds) to make the changes yourself but they do not go into the main tree.
