The VERSION variable is supposed to be set by including /usr/share/modass/include/generic.make, and you apparently do not have module-assistant installed, do you? Probably nvidia-kernel-source should stop recommending kernel-package and just depend on module-assistant like every other $module-source package does. That seems like a great idea. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

How did you try to build the module? I tried: cd /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel (after unpacking /usr/src/nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2) KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.29-1-686-bigmem \ KVERS=2.6.29-1-686-bigmem debian/rules binary_modules That is no longer a complete set of headers and you can't build against it like that. The kernel team says that is no longer supported. This is what I've done for a long time (changing the kernel in question each time, obviously). Why not use module-assitant? I sure didn't test that old way of doing it when I rewrote the build scripts. I used module-assistant and a hacked up version of linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 and both worked. I did not test make-kpkg or doing it manually (which I stopped doing years ago when I discovered module-assistant). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

But as was pointed out elsewhere, it might be best to make the requirement explicit. Cheers, Christopher Martin signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
