Re: NVidia source compiling problems
Sorry - because lynx couldn't log in on yahoo.com I
have to reboot in windows to read mail which is why I
didn't add it before.
I've got the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src both
in /usr/src.
I've used the following commands (as suggested by
Ochronus somt time ago)
cd /usr/src/
tar xvfz nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz
export KSRC=/usr/src/
- or -
export KSRC=kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/
export KVERS=2.4.18
cd modules/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123
debian/rules binary_modules
Because the kernel is pre-compiled this gives problems
(cc mismatch) - therefor I edited the Makefile in the
NVIDIAxxxx subdir, so it won't stop right away. Then
when I call the 'make' prog I get this error output:
cc -c -Wall -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wformat
-Wchar-subscripts -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith
-Wcast-qual -Wno-multichar -O -MD -D__KERNEL__
-DMODULE -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -DNTRM -D_GNU_SOURCE
-DRM_HEAPMGR -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -D__KERNEL__
-DMODULE -DNV_MAJOR_VERSION=1 -DNV_MINOR_VERSION=0
-DNV_PATCHLEVEL=3123 -DNV_UNIX -DNV_LINUX
-DNVCPU_X86 -I. -I/usr/src/linux/include
-Wno-cast-qual nv.c
In file included from nv.c:14:
nv-linux.h:24: linux/modversions.h: No such file or
directory
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1
How do I get around this ??
