Dear Lawson,
The compilation fails because of the following problem which you
reported in your first mail to us (report
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg02234.html ) :
make: *** /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-pae-2.6.29/linux-2.6.29: No such file
or directory. Stop.
So, I asked you to send me list of all files under /usr/src in your machine, using
command ls -R (ls lists files, -R lists recursively).
In what you sent me here is the relevant part:
/usr/src/packages:
BUILD
RPMS
SOURCES
SPECS
SRPMS
/usr/src/packages/BUILD:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS:
athlon
geode
i386
i486
i586
i686
noarch
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/athlon:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/geode:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i486:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i686:
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch:
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES:
/usr/src/packages/SPECS:
Because you have nothing below /usr/src/packages/BUILD/ , the compilation process
cannot reach the directory
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-pae-2.6.29/linux-2.6.29 thus it stops.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ASK: where did you find the file which you try to compile, does it
come from either of Philippe Vouter's site or mirror at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il,
or did you find it in some SuSE disk or archive?
If the latter is true, erase that file, download
http://linmhttp://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/Philippe.Vouters/intel-536EP-537EP_2009_07_07.tar.bz2
unpack it with tar jxf intel-536EP-537EP_2009_07_07.tar.bz2 <http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/Philippe.Vouters/intel-536EP-537EP_2009_07_07.tar.bz2> , enter directory
intel-536-537 and follow the instructions.
If it is that or slightly earlier file that you use, what can be done about it?
_*Working as root*_ ( likely su under SuSE, possibly sudo), you can create the missing
structure with one command:
mkdir -p /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-pae-2.6.29/linux-2.6.29
and then retry the compilation.
My bet is that it will stop at some further place because of the same problem with
some other directory. Just add what is missing according to that scheme until success.
The right way however, and I do forward this to Philippe, is to report to him the
problem. Either you have installed a sick distribution or a sick modem driver file,
or a change is needed in one or more of Philippe's make files (I cannot believe this).
Please keep us informed of the outcome of just adding what the script shows as missing
in the paths.
Thanks
Jacques
