How to compile in Debian?
Suppose you want to compile your drivers for your wireless adapter, which is
what I actually want to do. If I am not mistaken, I need a build symbolic
link in "uname -r" to the kernel-source, and I need a linux symbolic link
from /usr/src where to the kernel source too, which also resides there.
Now, uname -r is for me: 2.6.8-2-686-smp, and the kernel source for a 2.6.8
in the distribution only is found with Debian version 16 (2.6.8-16). Are the
kernel source and my kernel compatible?
Well, I am a newbie in Debian, and I am translating the little I know about
Mandrake. First think that called my attention was that after a fresh
install of Debian, the directory /usr/src, was empty.
I would appreciate any help you can give me to compile my drivers. And yes,
I have Googled but without luck.
Teilhard.
