0. Preparation.
First make sure you have installed the kernel-sources, and the version of the
sources is correct.
If you don't know what kernel version is currently installed on your SUSE try:
cat /proc/version
It should come back with something like:
Linux version 2.6.13-15-default ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
(gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux))
#1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005
telling you that you are using version 2.6.13-15-default.
To see if sources are installed you can either startup YaST (software
management) or just type:
rpm -qa kernel*
On my system this returns:
kernel-update-tool-0.9-10
kernel-docs-2.6.13-15
kernel-default-2.6.13-15
kernel-source-2.6.13-15
kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.13-15
Note the line kernel-source!
We also will need make and gcc, test for this the same way:
rpm -qa make gcc
make-3.80-188
gcc-4.0.2_20050901-3
If any of these packages are missing install them using YaST.
Now log in into a root console (superuser) and configure the compile
environment to reflect your actual set up.
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare
That last statement should comeback with something like:
CHK /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15/include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
As with everything with Linux things can be donme in different ways.
The same as above can be achieved by executing the following as root:
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default/.config /usr/src/linux/.config
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux/scripts/modpost
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default/scripts/genksyms/genksyms
/usr/src/linux/scripts/genksyms/genksyms
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default/scripts/basic/fixdep
/usr/src/linux/scripts/basic/fixdep
cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default/scripts/mod/modpost
/usr/src/linux/scripts/mod/modpost
If you don't do these steps chances are big you get a
/bin/sh scripts/basic/fixdep: File not found
error when trying to compile the driver(s) you need.
To make things complete, you also need to put Module.symvers into the right
place.
cp /boot/symvers-2.6.13-15-i386-default.gz /usr/src/linux
mv symvers-2.6.13-15-i386-default.gz Module.symvers.gz
gunzip /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers.gz
make modules_prepare
Whatever approach you use, you are now ready to compile a kernel module -
without errors!
Note: If you run a YaST update and a new kernel gets installed you might want
to download the new kernel sources too, and adjust your compile environment.

it's all the same any of the releases you try... but when i made "make"

Thank you Peter and Joe for your fast replies.... was this part which
was needed:
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare
cp /boot/symvers-2.6.13-15-i386-default.gz /usr/src/linux
mv symvers-2.6.13-15-i386-default.gz Module.symvers.gz
gunzip /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers.gz
make modules_prepare
These steps was done by me in distributions before in order to install
vmware, like i hadn't installed it yet, i hadn't had done those steps
yet... THAAAAANK YOU ;D
