Package: mol-modules-source
Version: 0.9.70-18
Severity: normal

Mol modules seem to require a full kernel source tree and
kernel-package to compile.

The first thing that went wrong when trying to compile with just the
kernel headers was a missing gcc-version.sh. If you wish, I can send
you a make logfile. Running make with a full 'prepared' Linux source
tree didn't work either. I saved this logfile as well.

The following did work (sort of):

- Prepare the kernel source (unpacking, Linux symlink, copying
  relevant /boot/config-... to /usr/src/linux/.config, running
  make prepare;  lots of warnings about pointer targets
  differing in signedness), but I continued anyway).
- make_kpkg modules_image
- install mol-modules-...

This resulted in just a mol.ko, not a sheep.ko. Also, it was in
/lib/modules/2.6.12/misc, not in /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-powerpc/misc
and failed to load automatically, even after copying it to the right
directory and rebooting. However, it did load with modins, and Mac
OS 9 seems to run ok. I didn't try to establish a netatalk
connection with the host, but was able to ssh to the host.
