Package: kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686-smp
Version: 2.4.27-6
Severity: important
External module sources that use export-objs and the kernel build system
in order to generate module .ver files break when executing the 'dep'
target. This is because the arch/i386/boot directory (and the Makefile
that should be therein) is not present in the kernel-headers tree.
I'm not entirely sure that the module is doing the right thing here
though so this may be a false bug. From what I can see the module's
Makefile would need to replicate a lot of code from the kernel build
system Makefiles and do some dodgey guesswork in order to generate the
..ver files without using the kernel build system's 'dep' target so I
think the way the module Makefile works should be okay. It might not
mean much but this Makefile works as expected when used on SuSE SLES8
with it's equivalent kernel-headers tree (provided by the kernel-source
package on SuSE).
I notice that for Debian 2.6 kernel headers packages that this location
does exist (as a symlink from the specific
kernel-headers-<ver>-<release>-<build> installed package trees to the
base kernel-headers-<ver>-<release> installed package tree). I can't
test with the 2.6 tree though because the driver module we're building
does not support 2.6 yet.
The module's makefile executes the 'dep' target with:
-----
ifeq (,$(TOPDIR))
...
dep:
make -C $(KERNEL_SOURCE) dep SUBDIRS=`pwd`
...
-----
And has export-objs defined which is used to generate .ver files with
the %.ver:%.c style rule in Rules.make. It works fine with SuSE kernel
headers and with configured full kernel-source trees on Debian, RedHat
and SuSE - it just doesn't work with the Debian kernel-headers packages
for 2.4 kernels.
Thanks

Yvan,
thanks for your bug report. You are right that those files are indeed
missing, and that they should ineed be there. Fortuantely they are there
now, but due to an unrelated issue (ABI change, which renders it
incompatible) the name of the package has recently changed from
kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686-smp to kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-686-smp.
Please try that instead.
I am marking this bug as done, as I believe it is fixed
by kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-686-smp 2.4.27-7, pleaes reassign
to that package and reopen if that is not the case.
