Bug#270299: kernel-headers-2.6.8-1: missing headers drm.h and drm_proc.h needed for building radeon modules.
Package: kernel-headers-2.6.8-1
Version: 2.6.8-1
Severity: normal
Several *.h header files are not included in the kernel-headers
packages. Some of the missing headers are needed when building
some kernel modules.
When using make-kpk to build the fglrx radeon modules-image package
from inside the /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-k7/ directory, an
error message is displayed reporting that header files drm.h and
drm_proc.h cannot be found.
These headers and many others are included in the kernel-source-2.6.8
package, in the directory drivers/char/drm/, but not in the
corresponding /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-1/drivers/char/drm/
directory. Adding symlinks from this headers directory to all the *.h
files in the corresponding source directory made the fglrx modules
build fine.
If these headers (and possibly others that are currently excluded)
were included in the kernel-headers packages, then modules like this
could be built using only the kernel-headers package.
