Kernel source location questions (and symbolic links) for module compile.
 

I should first say I've managed to compile modules on previous Mandriva installations, but on a new 2008.0 install I have issues. AFAIK I have installed the source.

I'm trying to compile a driver for my integrated webcam and I get an error which I think is something to do the source files (probably links to them). I get this:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/build SUBDIRS=/home/robertw/m560x-driver/m560x/trunk/km_m560x modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I think I need to create a symbolic link to my /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.9-1mdv directory from my /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/build which is empty (but I could be wrong).

If I do this:

ls -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.9-1mdv/ /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/build/

I just get this
lib/modules/2.6.22.9-laptop-1mdv/build/:
total 0

/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.9-1mdv/:
total 5560

Can anyone advise on what the issue is here please? Am I trying to do the right thing and just getting the syntax incorrect?

Many thanks.
