Well, thanks to all of you but none of this worked - I did the source
installs and still get the same issues:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10/kernel'
gcc -DALSA_BUILD -D__KERNEL__ -O2 -DLINUX -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I/usr/src/linux/include -I.. -DEXPORT_SYMTAB
-c sound.c
In file included from sound.c:23:
../include/driver.h:66: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [sound.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10/kernel'
make: *** [compile] Error 1
...include/driver.h does in fact include linux/modversions.h. I tried
simply commenting out the include, but it appears another dependency does
the same thing - got the same error trivially further along.
I've found very little documentation about what modversions.h *is* or how
it is supposed to work. Can anyone shed some light on this file and how I
might get this to compile?
Using locate, I find modversions.h in
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.17/include/linux
so, in my just-enough-knowledge-to-be-dangerous mode I linked all the
files in above directory into .../alsa-driver-0.5.10/linux which bombed
completely.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
