Hi,
Here is some feedback from my trying to install lm_sensors.
I tried to compile i2c-2.6.2 and lm_sensors-2.6.2 on Redhat Linux 7.1
I already have the lm_sensors-2.5.5-3 package installed with this
distribution,
but when I tried to use it I couldn't load the i2c-i801.o: I got
a message that the symbols i2c_del_adapter_R97e1c952 and
i2c_add_adapter_Rd50a523b
could not be resolved. These symbols are defined in i2c-i801.o in my
installation.
So I tried to install the latest version of the two packages, first
i2c-2.6.2 according to the inctructions.
The first problem was that in file kernel/Module.mk a lot of lines
contain the
following path: $(LINUX)/.config
There is no such file in my installation. Instead there is a directory
/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-12/configs and in it there are several *.config files.
So I changed the path to be $(LINUX)/configs/*.config,
after which grep did not complain any more that "there is no such file"
After this the "make all" did not complain at all. But when I tried
"make install"
a got this:
if [ -n " kernel/i2c-core.o kernel/i2c-dev.o kernel/i2c-algo-bit.o
kernel/i2c-philips-par.o kernel/i2c-elv.o kernel/i2c-velleman.o
kernel/i2c-algo-pcf.o kernel/i2c-elektor.o kernel/i2c-proc.o
kernel/i2c-pport.o" ] ; then \
mkdir -p /lib/modules/`grep UTS_RELEASE
/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-12/include/linux/version.h|cut -f 2 -d'"'`/misc ; \
install -o root -g root -m 644 kernel/i2c-core.o kernel/i2c-dev.o
kernel/i2c-algo-bit.o kernel/i2c-philips-par.o kernel/i2c-elv.o
kernel/i2c-velleman.o kernel/i2c-algo-pcf.o kernel/i2c-elektor.o
kernel/i2c-proc.o kernel/i2c-pport.o /lib/modules/`grep UTS_RELEASE
/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-12/include/linux/version.h|cut -f 2 -d'"'`/misc ; \
fi
install: `/lib/modules/2.4.9-12smp' is a directory
install: `2.4.9-12BOOT' is a directory
install: `2.4.9-12enterprise' is a directory
install: `2.4.9-12debug' is a directory
make: *** [install-kernel] Error 1
I did not dig into this: I just copied the *.o and *.h file in the
appropriate
directories.
Then I went on to compile lm_sensors-2.6.2. I again had to fix that
${LINUX}/.config
path in several files.
Tha compile fails. Here are the last couple of lines:
sed -e 's@^\(.*\)\.o:@kernel/busses/i2c-ali1535.d
kernel/busses/i2c-ali1535.o: Makefile '`dirname
kernel/busses/i2c-ali1535.d`/Module.mk' @' > kernel/busses/i2c-ali1535.d
make: *** No rule to make target `linux/i2c-proc.h', needed by
`prog/sensord/chips.rd'. Stop.
Best regards,
Mitko Liotev
