This problem has come up in relation to a bunch of out-of-tree kernel
drivers since FC6 was released. The linux/config.h header file no
longer exists and is not needed. You should be able to just delete the
source line in the driver that references it (gspca_core.c line 36 I
think).
OK - removed it, and make continued, apparently succeeding. However,
attempting install gives me
install -c -m 0644 gspca.ko /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/ install: target
`/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/usb/media/' is not a
directory: No such file or directory
Do I simply create this directory?
You could do, or you could install it into
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/extra/ or maybe
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/
I'm out of my depth, here, Paul. Part of the makefile reads
MODULE_INSTALLDIR =
/lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
MODULE_INSTALLDIR2
= /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/kernel/drivers/media/video/
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) CC=$(CC) modules
install:
mkdir -p $(MODULE_INSTALLDIR)
rm -f $(MODULE_INSTALLDIR)spca5xx.ko
rm -f $(MODULE_INSTALLDIR2)gspca.ko
install -c -m 0644 gspca.ko $(MODULE_INSTALLDIR)
/sbin/depmod -ae
Should I edit the MODULE_INSTALLDIR to match the MODULE_INSTALLDIR2? I
would have thought that they wouldn't have defined two separate ones if
they could both go in the same one.
Sorry to sound naive - I am ;-)
I'd suggest changing the /usb/media in MODULE_INSTALLDIR to
/media/video/usbvideo
OK - last hurdle, I hope:
*** The "rpmbuild" program is not in your PATH!
This is root, of course. I've found
usr/lib/librpmbuild-4.4.so
so how do I append it to root's path? I'm sure I should know this, but I
just can't remember.
Um, what are you trying to do now? You don't need rpmbuild to build a
kernel module. Have you moved on to something else now>
Don't build RPMs as root anyway. You'll need the rpm-build package and
then you can build them as a regular user.
