Bug#340486: linux-headers-2.6.14-2-k7: Unable to compile modules, fixdep.c required

It is not even appropriate to call it as the config is always uptodate in the headers package and this will probably invalidate the symbol version files. Please note that I'm simply following the same procedure I've always followed to build modules. Previous versions of linux-headers did NOT have a Makefile in the scripts/basic directory. I realize that there's probably a simple fix for this, but unravelling the *intent* of a Makefile is a little tricky at times... What happens if you compile it with make -C /usr/src/$bla M=$(pwd)?

It appears to be the kernel-package problem, fixed kernel-package is now in sid, I'm just waiting for a confirmation from submitter that it works for him before closing the bug.

Jurij, I am re-sending this email because I just checked the bug report and I do not see it listed -- so I assume it went astray. That's probably my fault, even though I would think that if Makefile would be written correctly, and fixdep binary already present (and it is present), then it would not try to rebuild it. Can you please confirm that it builds fine if you remove scripts/basic/Makefile? I should have included this in the original report -- that's the first thing I tested. When I remove Makefile from the script/basic directory, the make-kpgk fails with a complaint that there's no fule to make target scripts/basic/Makefile. I just tried this again with the latest linux-headers release, 2.6.14-4, and I have the same problem: complilation fails with or without the script/basic/Makefile. Please let me know if you need any further information. -- Moshe Yudkowsky Disaggregate 2952 W Fargo Chicago, IL 60645 USA www.Disaggregate.com www.PebbleAndAvalanche.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 773 764 8727 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
