problems with make dep
hi all,
After spending an hour or so for a couple of days i finally figured out that my kenrnel source want installed. Now that i got that fixed and am went to compile a driver ig to a message that modversions.h was missing. From everything i have read on the web, i am supposed to run make dep in my source dirrectory. When i do this i get a message that make dep is unnecessary now . Thus, i cant get the modversion.h file and therefore no driver. I would appreciate any help, Hellixor |
make dep is obsolete in 2.6 kernels.
if the instructions are telling you to 'make dep' then the instructions are probably for a 2.4 kernel. which wont work. |
THen what do i need to do
Since make dep is obsolete in 2.6, how do i make the modversions.h file. what command should i run.
|
if i were you.... i would....
frst try... make clean make mrproper if that doesnt work, also do... make menuconfig select load configureation from file, and load the config file in the /boot/ folver. save and exit make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install then boot your new kernel. that way you will definatly have a complete kernel tree (since you just compiled a whole kernel) and, your running kernel will perfectly match your source code. |
