Subject: [SLUG] kernel build environment questions
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2007 19:02:39 -0500
Hello all,
I am trying to install a driver on my Debian sarge system, with 2.4 kernel.
The instructions say the following:
I. You must have a kernel mode driver build environment setup
on your system.
III. For a systems usings 2.4 kernels, the kernel source is assumed
to be present in /usr/src/linux. If the kernel source resides
in a different location, make a corresponding change to the
Makefile in the 'wrapper' directory.
So, I did an apt-get install kernel-build-2.4.27-3 which put several
directories under /usr/src:
pos11:/usr/src# ls
kernel-build-2.4.27-3 kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-586tsc
kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-k6
kernel-headers-2.4.27-3 kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-686
kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-k7
kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-386 kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-686-smp
kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-k7-smp
pos11:/usr/src#
There is a line in the makefile for the driver that reads:
INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb
I don't have a linux directory under /usr/src. I can't find a directory
named "drivers" which contains .h files, anywhere on the system. Must I do
something else to get the build environment set up properly?
The net result is that the driver doesn't compile correctly, because I'm
assuming it's missing the include files that it needs.
Any hints or suggestions welcome! Or, put another way, does anyone want to
come to my office and figure this out for me? I don't have the time, but I
do have the money!
Thanks.
Bill
/usr/src/linux is a link to the /usr/src/<kernel version> directory
If installing the source didn't create the link, just create it yourself.
