Hi Interesting, well if anyone is serious about having speakup in the main kernel source such issues like this should be resolved. It's not as clear cut as you state. I didn't think my 2.6.21.3 source came up with that error. We'll never know now because after building a kernel, the error goes away. Let's call it the virgin bug. <smiles> Regards Gena Amateur Call: M 0 E B P VOIP / IM: gena1959uk -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Gregory Nowak Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 12:22 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Anyone found problems with 2.6.21.5 kernel speakup and mrproper? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I remember seeing this at least since 2.6.19, and probably earlier, it's been like that for a good while. I always assumed it was a problem with the kernel source itself, rather than the speakup patch, since I never bothered running mrproper on a clean source, as I mentioned in another thread here earlier. Since everything compiles and works fine anyway, I just ignored it, and didn't worry about it, or bother mentioning it.

I've tried as a standard user and as root. I don't understand why that the patching of speakup is causing this error when issuing the mrproper command. Because the file named in the error isn't part of the tar ball in the first place. The mrproper command doesn't produce this error until the kernel has been patched with speakup. I've downloaded and checked out with fresh tar balls and the results are the same. > > I proceeded with the build which was successful, without errors and the kernel came up talking. > > Kirk are you aware of this? I've built speakup into the kernel, oh thinking about it, the only speakup module is the software synth. Which I haven't attempted to run. It's occurred on a debian etch and also on a nearly complete lfs installation. > > make mrproper > awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5/include/linux/version.h' for reading (No such file or directory) > > Regards > > Gena > > Amateur Call: M 0 E B P > > VOIP / IM: gena1959uk > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup - -- web site: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org gpg public key: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) - -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGebZ+7s9z/XlyUyARAnZwAKCYQCf6xZhdZnwNzcVKxn+xdLIsgwCglCKE mUgSfekWh7vn1/ovdLV8SO4= =C8om -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup __________ NOD32 2342 (20070621) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
