[SOLVED] cannot compile nvidia-driver from slackbuilds.org on Slackware64-14.0

tramni1980 · 07-10-2013, 05:54 AM

Hello, I am running Slackware64-14.0 with kernel-generic-3.2.45,
uname -a:

Code:

#1 SMP Fri May 31 20:05:26 CDT 2013 x86_64 Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5200  @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I am trying to compile the nvidia-driver package from slackbuilds.org, but it fails with the following error message:

Code:

Creating directory NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17
Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 319.17.....................................................................................................................................................................
/tmp/SBo/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17
   CC           backup.c
backup.c: In function 'do_backup':
backup.c:228:14: error: 'ENOENT' undeclared (first use in this function)
backup.c:228:14: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make: *** [_out/Linux_x86_64/backup.o] Error 1

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Martin

Do you have the 'kernel-source' installed? And is this a full slackware install or a custom package list?

Hmm... also wondering if this is a custom kernel now... the 14.0 x64 is 3.2.29 on the mirror.

Yes, I have the kernel-source, it is the latest upgrade to stock Slackware64-14.0. It is a full slackware install.

maybe you're missing the kernel-headers-3.2.45 package (containing /usr/include/linux/errno.h).

I had messed the kernel headers after the kernel upgrade. There was an internet interruption during the upgrade. Now I upgraded everything again, and all compiles ok.
Thank you for your reply.

The kernel headers aren't actually part of the kernel. They're a part of glibc.
