Description Antonio D'souza 2004-05-17 06:33:16 UTC

The Ebuild is looking for autoconf.h in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/ when it should be looking for it in /usr/include/linux/ instead (I assume).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge rsync
2. emerge -u world
Actual Results:  
# chown root wrapdemo
# chmod u+s wrapdemo
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/portage/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.9.18-r1/work/svgalib-1.9.18/threeDKit'
grep: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory
Makefile.alt:11: *** commands commence before first target.  Stop.
 
!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.18-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 83, Exitcode 2
!!! Failed to build kernel module!

Expected Results:  
A successful Ebuild update.

It worked ok on my side..

sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 *

That's my version of autoconfig if it helps.

Also you might want to try emerge sync again to see if it was fixed in a recent update.

Comment 2 Antonio D'souza 2004-05-17 18:06:27 UTC

My autoconf is at version 2.59-r3, which is newer than yours. I did an rsync this afternoon but it didn't help any. I even tried removing & reinstalling svgalib but to no avail.

take a look at bug #43277. It looks similar.

Comment 4 Nanouck 2004-05-18 15:20:54 UTC

Hello,

I have nearly the same problem. I've just compiled a new linux-2.6.6 kernel, so this one has no CONFIG_MODVERSION flag, which is required in 
the Makefile.alt:
MODVER = $(shell grep CONFIG_MODVERSIONS $(INCLUDEDIR)/linux/autoconf.h)
ifeq ($(MODVER),)
    @echo INCLUDEDIR is not set up correctly
    exit 1
endif

A patch is needed to correct all referencies to MODVER.

What do you think about it ?

svgalib needs your kernel source (/usr/src/linux)

the only way i could get CONFIG_MODVERSIONS to not appear in include/linux/autoconf.h
was to disable module support ... as soon as i enabled it, this appeared in the file:
#define CONFIG_MODVERSIONS 1

so if you have modules disabled, well svgalib isnt going to work anyways :)
