Hi All,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am trying to compile a kernel
module on a x86 system running Linux 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.
In order to compile the code I need to access to the build source tree
No, you don't need that. A small subset of the source
is enough for module compiling.
which should reside in the following directory
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp
In my system currently this directory is a link list to the following
directory:
../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-smp-i686
Which is an empty directory.
Install the kernel-devel RPM matching your kernel version,
and you'll get all the header files and other bits and
pieces necessary to compile kernel modules.
