Quoting Rogério Brito <rbrito@ime.usp.br>:
If you want to compile your own kernels, having only build-essential is enough (it will pull in various other packages needed for compilation of kernels).
But... When I say 'apt-get install build-essential', the answer is that 'build-essential' is already installed and the latest version. However, here are the contents of /usr/src/linux:
********************************************** ibook:/usr/src# ls -al total 47528 drwxrwsr-x 2 root src 4096 2010-04-12 20:05 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 2010-04-02 19:54 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48606909 2010-03-09 23:10 linux-source-2.6.26.tar.bz2 ibook:/usr/src# **********************************************So, there is only the .bz2 package. That is not enough, is it? Also, the directory that the earlier 'make' complained about, /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-powerpc/build, is still missing.
I suspect there is some very basic capability that I lack to build modules. I mean, it's not just the A-Link WLAN module that cannot be built - I don't think I can build *any* module with the current setup.
