Package: lirc-modules-source Version: 0.8.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #447172 I saw this problem too. It looks like it is including the automake-generated makefile for drivers/Makefile, with no include to get the kernel build rules. Items in debian/rules and elsewhere indicate that there were in the past some hacks to temporarly switch makefiles for the kernel module build, but somehow those have been partially lost, or are no longer being called.
After much hunting through the package build, I noticed that drivers/Makefile was missing a ton of lines compared to the upstream distribution. I also I noticed this in the build output, just after running configure: ###### /usr/src/lirc-build/lirc-0.8.2/missing: line 46: automake-1.6: command not /found WARNING: `automake-1.6' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified `Makefile.am', `acinclude.m4' or `configure.in'. You might want to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages. Grab them from any GNU archive site. cd .. && /bin/sh ./config.status drivers/Makefile config.status: creating drivers/Makefile ###### Hmm ... what happens if I install automake-1.6 ... oh, hmm, automake is only available in sarge! What if I get the autogen.sh from lirc cvs and use it to recreate configure and friends with a current automake ... then applying patch 02_Makefile.in fails. At any rate, I'm guessing the problem is related to recreating the makefiles going wrong due to missing automake stuff, or automake running when it shouldn't. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.1-1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lirc-modules-source depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.14 Debian configuration management sy ii debhelper 5.0.59 helper programs for debian/rules ii debianutils 2.25.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii ucf 3.003 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages lirc-modules-source recommends: ii dpkg-dev 1.14.7 package building tools for Debian ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.2.1-6 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.2-16 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.2 [c-compiler] 4.2.2-3 The GNU C compiler ii kernel-package 11.001 A utility for building Linux kerne ii make 3.81-3 The GNU version of the "make" util -- debconf information: lirc-modules-source/use_lirc_hints: true lirc-modules-source/parallel_irq: 7 * lirc-modules-source/do-build: false lirc-modules-source/parallel_timer: 65536 lirc-modules-source/serial_transmitter: true lirc-modules-source/not_needed: lirc-modules-source/serial_port: 0x2f8 * lirc-modules-source/drivers: streamzap lirc-modules-source/serial_irq: 3 lirc-modules-source/serial_type: Other lirc-modules-source/kernel-source: /usr/src/linux/ lirc-modules-source/sir_port: 0x2f8 lirc-modules-source/parallel_port: 0x378 * lirc-modules-source/what_next: lirc-modules-source/sir_type: Other lirc-modules-source/serial_softcarrier: false lirc-modules-source/kernel-source-not-found: lirc-modules-source/it87_type: Standard lirc-modules-source/sir_irq: 3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
