Package: zd1211-source Version: 0.0.0.svnr67-2 Severity: wishlist I have had difficulties in compiling the module's packages in the following situation :
Had previously build a custom kernel (mainly stock Debian kernel with processor type changed : via epia platform system), then had later removed the kernel source directory where it had been built. I'm running this custom kernel, and didn't initially generate and install the linux-headers package corresponding to the kernel either. When trying the documented module-assistant steps, I got the following errors : Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST /bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 127 make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15' make[1]: *** [binary-modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/zd1211' make: *** [kdist_build] Error 2 I then tried to unpack again the linux kernel sources, install my custom /boot/config-.. and regenerate a linux-headers package : make-kpkh --append_to_version=whateverIhadChoosedInitiallyForLinuxKernelPackage kernel_header Installed that package... But no better with the linux-headers package corresponding to the running kernel :( Then I noticed on Google that a similar error happened on other modules (nvidia ?) generation and involved the following steps : make prepare make prepare scripts Now, if doing these two steps between make_kpkg clean and make_kpkg kernel_headers, I can get the necessary elements in the headers package to be able to generate succesfully the zd1211 modules packages (or in the linux-source directory left there ?). In either case, this helps rebuilding the module's package without having to recompile the whole kernel (which is painfully long on the epia machine). Maybe this should be documented in the README too ? Maybe this is actually a bug with m-a, which should detect what's missing beforehand ? Hope this helps.
