Hi All,

I'm a new aspiring device driver programming learner. I have downloaded scull source code ( of Alessandro Rubini: linux device drivers third edition )
While I run make command, I get following error


[parun@tunnel scull]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build M=/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull LDDINC=/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/../include modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'
CC [M] /home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/main.o
/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/main.c:17:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/main.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

As per my understanding, the main.c program refers a header file linux/config.h .But there was no config.h in linux source codes header directory.Is it the mistake of the scull code??

Reply me, if you find any clues

thanks and regards,
Arun

You need to install the kernel-devel package. Run:

thanks for reply

I installed the component you mentioned.But still I find the same error creeping up

Is there some place i can download the source? I can try looking at the code and see whats going on. also i assumed that when you ran ./configure it ran without errors?

thanks mate,
I just copied linux/config.h from another server to linux-2.6/include/linux/ directory and then tried again.It works now.I don't know how that file is missed earlier
