hi

i use suse 10.1 with kernel 2.6.16.13

i installed the new kernel: 2.6.16.20, that work fine

when i tried to build the driver for my web cam (with root access) i get:

Code:

linux64:/home/collinm/Download/spca5xx-20060501 # make
   Building SPCA5XX driver for 2.5/2.6 kernel.
   Remember: you must have read/write access to your kernel source tree.
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/home/collinm/Download/spca5xx-20060501 CC=cc modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-1.1-obj/x86_64/default'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target « modules ». Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-1.1-obj/x86_64/default'
make: *** [default] Error 2

/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-20.1-obj it's not empty

Code:

linux64:/home/collinm/Download/spca5xx-20060501 # ls -ls /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-20.1-obj
0 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 168 2006-07-17 12:37 x86_64

0 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 224 2006-07-17 12:37 xen

seem ok

Code:

/lib/modules/2.6.16.20-1.1-default/build -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-1.1-obj/x86_64/default

any idea?

maybe a suse problem........

http://software.opensuse.org/downloa...x_10.1/x86_64/

kernel source don't have the correct number....

kernel-default-2.6.16.20-1.1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-source-2.6.16.20-20.1.x86_64.rpm

when i install the source i get

/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-20.1-obj
/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-1.1-obj

the second folder was empty... but seem the default folder when i build...

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-20.1-obj/x86_64/default/ /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-1.1-obj/x86_ 64/default

correct the problem, now i can build webcam driver
