Open Source ???
Now I'm confused. Well, OK, I was born that way.
New Debian installation. Need to compile some
source code, build an object. Have makefile
and a .C file, provided by NIC card vendor.
Run make. Make complains that "modversions.h" is
not found. It seems to be a deeply nested
dependency.
I'm guessing that this file lives in one of the
"kernel-headers" .deb files.
But hey, what's this ---
At debian.org, there is no .deb for the i386
build for kernel-headers-2.2.18pre21. Oddly enough,
there is such a file for sparc.
Nor is there such a .deb file on my debian
distribution CD. So which .deb file do I need
to get this steenking header file?
Is there some clue in the naming of this
distro ("2.2.18pre21") that would lead me to
the answer?
Clearly I haven't learned to think in Linux
terms yet...
