In debian/virtualbox-guest-source.files/rules/, you call the kernel build system like this: $(MAKE) -C $(KSRC) M=$(CURDIR) But in the clean rule, you call the upstream Makefiles directly, and they try to use the kernel build scripts for the running kernel. You should probably use something like: $(MAKE) -C $(KSRC) M=$(CURDIR) clean Ben. -- Ben Hutchings The two most common things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hello, so it didn't build correctly?do you have a build log? I'm failing to understand why this can't be a m-a bug...I'm not an user of m-a myself, but I usually create a deb file and then dpkg -i it. G.
