error output by compiling from ndiswrapper - kernel not configured
 

hello,

at first i had to excuse but my english is not that good at all

my problem is quietly simple, i wanted to compile ndiswrapper but i got an error-message:

Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24-obj/i386/smp, is it configured?. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/bin/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2

i heard that i had to configure or install kernel-headers by yast but i haven't any idea how to do that pls help me and pls remember im not that good in english ;)

thx for helping m8s

edit: sry i forgotten to say i use Novell SuSE Linux 9.2 Prof (hope i'm right in this forum ;))

Well, your English is fine, no worse than mine, anyway... :) But you shouldn't post the same message on two different boards, the moderators will get angry. :)

About your problem. Go to your kernel source directory
cd /usr/src/linux
and run
make oldconfig
there.

Then, try to compile ndiswrapper again.

thx for your answer and ure opinion about my englisch ;)
i will try it instantly, and sry for posting it two times, i don`t want to do so
i will give u a feedback as soon as possible
best regards
levi

im sorry but i think im to stupid to do this
in the directory /usr/src/linux...... is not an makefile theres only another directory called /i684 or something like that what means that comes another error-message to me if i say "make" xD
in my other thread i get an answer i should install over yast and there was a ndiswrapper but it was an old version an works only with wlan-cards not with sticks *cry*

but theres something i do not understand in the install file of ndiswrapper there stand that in the directory (this one in the error message) had to be an *.config file, but there is none

had i to propably to config the kernel manually?
and in this case how i had to do this?

OK, what exactly do you have in the /usr/src directory? There should be a symbolic link linux pointing to the source tree of the kernel you're currently running. Do you have that?
The topmost directory of the kernel source tree looks like this
if you have the full kernel sources installed. Check if you have them.

theres only ati and linux-x.x.x...-obj nothing else
how do i install full kernel sources? i nothing found about tha in yast

im sorry i looked up yast one times more and found kernel-src and installed them

now i have next error message xD but theres only one thing i have to do that is to get a newer version of gcc

thx for all ure help
regards levi
