Bug#387230: fglrx-kernel-src: the module build is sucessfull, but it cant be loaded by kernel
Hi I think I have the same problem, but since I'm running etch and etch doesn't have gcc-4.0, I'm out of luck, am I not? Rebuilding Kernel and Driver with gcc-3.4 wouldn't help, would it?

Steve Langasek wrote: Or, it uses whatever you specify as a compiler override using the appropriate environment variables. Yes, but the problem is that will there be users that simplely will follow the steps of the readme, the module will build sucessfully, but it wil not works for them and they will not understand why. There is no API for passing this information to module packages; you'll have to do some additional work to set the corresponding compiler version in your environment. Perhaps a note in the begining of the readme o in the debconf template about how to configure this will be usefull. I found posts in forums and mails of lists with the same problem and without answer. This is not grave, because there is a workaround which is reasonable given that this is a -src package. Sorry, i chose the options of reportbug that do the package unusefull, since it not worked for me. Thanks for your time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

To put it another way, I was under the impression that it's the user's responsibility to ensure that they're compiling modules with the correct compiler, correct kernel sources and configuration. AFAIK, no other kernel module source package attempts to detect a mismatched compiler version, let alone find the right one. Therefore, if this is a bug, I would say it's a bug in the kernel build system (I'm sure Linus would love to hear that). -- Ciao, Flavio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, you could work with the kernel team to figure out how to expose this information in an API so that you can use it automatically in your package. :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
