do not compile this file alone. use 'make config/menuconfig/xconfig'
to configure linux, there you can choose this driver. then compile the
kernel...

this modversion.h gets generated during the kernel build. so, you
can't pick one file (rtl8139.c) and compile it. choose this driver and
then compile your kernel.

this should be: -I/usr/src/linux/include/linux or more generally:
-I<path to your linux source tree>/include/linux
it was needed, because this modversion.h will be somewhere _in the
source tree_, it is not installed somewhere in the system, where the
compiler looks for header files.
