problems with Intel 537 modem
 

I am trying to install the Intel 537 modem (My OS is Mandrake 9.2)
I've already downloaded the .tgz file from Intel web page. The readme.txt saids:
"steps to install
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make all
6. Type: make install

steps 1 to 3 ... OK

step 4:
[root@localhost mod]# make clean
cd coredrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/mod/coredrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mod/coredrv'
cd serialdrv; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/mod/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o *~ core
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mod/serialdrv'
rm -f *.o
rm -f *.o

..... OK (I suppose)

step5:
[root@localhost mod]# make all
usage: make [clean] or [537] or [install] or [check] or [config_sync] or [uninstall]

...... (I'don't know)

step6:
[root@localhost mod]# make install
bash 537_inst
running kernel 2.4.22-10mdk
installing hamregistry, used for persistant storage
installing usrsound, a soft buzzer
installing ham module
install: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre `537.o': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@localhost mod]#

.... What's going on?

Please help me, i'don't want to use my modem only in windows so, what can I do?

" what can I do?"

You are somewhat at the mercy of the person who created the tarball and he seems to have made some sort of mistake. I would try substituting a plain make command for the make all command:
make clean
make
make install


If that does not work then you might email the developer for some advice on what to do.

Instead of make all i try make 537 and...

[root@localhost mod]# make 537
if [ -a /boot/vmlinuz.version.h ]; then \
cp /boot/vmlinuz.version.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/version.h; fi
if [ ]; then \
cd coredrv; make TARGET=TARGET_CATAWBA KERNEL_SOURCE_PATH= "PSTN_DEF=-DTARGET_CATAWBA -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX" 537core; \
cd ../serialdrv; make TARGET=TARGET_CATAWBA KERNEL_SOURCE_PATH= card=CARD_TJ320 \
"PSTN_DEF=-DTARGET_CATAWBA -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX" 537; \
else \
cd coredrv; make TARGET=TARGET_CATAWBA KERNEL_INCLUDES=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include \
"PSTN_DEF=-DTARGET_CATAWBA -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX" 537core; \
cd ../serialdrv; make TARGET=TARGET_CATAWBA KERNEL_INCLUDES=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include card=CARD_TJ320 \
"PSTN_DEF=-DTARGET_CATAWBA -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX" 537; \
fi ;
make[1]: Entering directory `/mod/coredrv'
cc -DTARGET_CATAWBA -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX -Wall -O -I /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -I ../inc -fno-common -c -o coredrv.o coredrv.c
/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [coredrv.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mod/coredrv'
make[1]: Entering directory `/mod/serialdrv'
cc -DTARGET_CATAWBA -DTARGET_LINUX -DLINUX -Wall -O -I /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -I ../inc -fno-common -c -o softserial.o softserial.c
/bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [softserial.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mod/serialdrv'
make: *** [537] Error 2
… What’s going on here? What’s these "cc"? How can I solve it?

step6:
[root@localhost mod]# make install
bash 537_inst
running kernel 2.4.22-10mdk
installing hamregistry, used for persistant storage
installing usrsound, a soft buzzer
installing ham module
install: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre `537.o': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@localhost mod]#
.... What's going on?

Try just plain old make:
make clean
make
make install

the result of tiping "make " it's the same as tiping "make all" ...

I think that the .tgz file is buggy. I suggest that you look in the .tgz documentation and find the email address of the developer. Contact the developer and see what they have to say about the problem.

You are rigth, but i think that the problem is in this piece of code and i think that the problem is my machine too. Look the <===, cc: comand not found. Maybe i haven't the cc (What the hell is the cc?). I don't know... Anyway thanks a lot for the time you spend on me..,.

cc means C compiler. Do you have gcc installed?
