Summary: modules won't compile
Initial Comment:

--without-gtk2\

--without-pam \
--with-linuxdir=/lib/modules/2.6.35.14/ \

LIBS="-ltirpc" \
CFLAGS="-Wno-implicit-function-declaration"
Everything OK.

Using standalone build system.

Why I can't have the modules build?
/lib/modules/2.6.35.14/ contains linux headers.
Also there is no Makefile.normal under vmsync/. Only Makefile & Makefile.kernel

Because having sources under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build is the standard
way of setting up the system.

Message:
No, I don't. I will try that on Monday as my stuff are at work.
Btw, why not make the sources compile just under /usr/src/linux ?
Everything is just in there. There is no reason for links and strange
paths...
Thanks for your time.

Message:
kernel-devel contains full kernel sources.
Do yo have a link similar to:
[dtor@dtor-d630 ~]$ ls -la /lib/modules/3.3.4-1.fc16.x86_64/build
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 May 3 11:52
/lib/modules/3.3.4-1.fc16.x86_64/build ->
/usr/src/kernels/3.3.4-1.fc16.x86_64

Message:
It's an LFS based distribution.
I have full kernel source under /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.14 and its headers
under /lib/modules/2.6.35.14/
Can you be more specific about that kernel-dev package?

Message:
You need an equivalent of kernel-devel package (at least that's what it is
called in Fedora/RHEL). What distribution is this?
