Going slightly spare!
I'm trying to compile a driver from scyld.com on my Debian 2.2r3 install. I
have the kernel source downloaded from kernel.org (as this isn't for my Debian
install - I have also tried the sources from Debian with now luck), but when I
compile I get the error:
linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
I have trawled the archives and found references to needing the kernel headers,
and running make oldconfig to get the file created, but although I now have the
file I still get the error. It is located in linux/include/config/ not just in
linux/, but even if I copy the file there I have no joy.
I have checked the permissions, and tried compiling as root, but still with no
luck. I've also seen the comment about compiling with the '-DMODVERSIONS'
flag, but since I'm not compiling with it that doesn't help either.
Can anyone give me any pointers? In my last job I did this fine on the RedHat
6.2 install I inherited, but since I don't know the history of that install,
and to have access to the machine any more I can't use that to assist me :-(
I'm working with both the 2.2.18 and 2.2.19 sources btw.
