Hi,
I have an embedded Cross Compiling environment on Fedora 9 - cross compiling an embedded
kernel for a TI DM355 Evaluation Board (running a TI Specific 2.6.32 kernel (for working with DSP)).
I have successfully built the kernel and associated modules, and run all current demos.
I decided I wanted to try a Wireless USB Dongle. There are NO drivers for this specific
USB Dongle (ath9k_htc).
So, today, I got a stable version of compat-wireless-2.6 and tried to build the compatible driver,
It seems to build OK, but it is NOT installing correctly????
Note: compat-wireless tarball un-tarred into compat-wireless-2012-05-10
Here are the steps I take to build / install
1) Do a few exports - just to make sure there we get these in there
EXPORT ARCH=arm
EXPORT CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-xxxx-
2) Perform Driver Select
./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc
3) Perform make
(note: my 2.6.32 kernel directory is located <../git>)
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-xxx- KLIB=../git KLIB_BUILD ../git
4) Perform install
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/morrisont/workdir/filesys2 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/armCodeSourcery/bin/arm-xxx- KLIB=../git KLIB_BUILD ../git
(note: I am assuming it will install in /home/morrisont/workdir/filesys2 ==> the NFS Root Directory)
The error is the following:
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/modules.dep.temp for writing: Permission denied
make: *** [uninstall] Error 1
The directory it is attempting to modify(uninstall is on my host system root directory -NOTHING to doo with INSTALL_MOD_PATH
Inspecting the Makefile is quite confusing - can someone succinctly tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
