Re: openafs-modules-source build with kernel-heades

Close but no cigar.  I get these errors:

<shell output>

It seems that the presence of linux/Makefile is hard-coded in the rules
file, specifcly in the determination of KVERS.  Since I am specifying
that variable from the shell, I simply commented out that part of the
rules makefile, and got these errors instead:

<shell output>

Any ideas?

Thanks,
