hi,
trying to install vmware, it needs
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h, which is not in the
kernel-source package but in kernel-headers. however, kernel-headers
alone doesn't suffice for vmware:
Building the vmmon module.
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only'
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only'
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/driver-2.4.9'
In file included from .././linux/driver.c:11:
../linux/driver-config.h:35: warning: No include path in which to find
linux/modversions.h
kernel-source, on the other hand, does not contain
linux/include/autoconf.h, so i can't `make dep` in it (.config copied
from /boot):
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.9/include/linux/autoconf.h', needed
by `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.9/include/linux/modules/signal.ver'.
Stop.
however, with plain kernel-source, vmware complains:
The path "/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.9/include" is a kernel header
file directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/autoconf.h" as
expected.
what is the right procedure with kernel-{headers,source}? vmware
*does* build if i use the regular /src/src/linux tree i used for
make-kpkg...
thanks,
