ubuntu_version_hack.inc

The OSS drivers I had installed wouldn't compile against 2.6.36 so I updated to the latest code in mercurial. The build goes fine, but when I run make install, and it tries to compile the modules, it errors out:

This is on Slackware 13.1. Any ideas?

That file is created by Makefile.osscore. You can ran the commands manually to create it, or even erase the include from osscore.c (it's only necessary to overcome a certain bug in some Ubuntu versions). I wonder why it's not created - if you ran these manually, perhaps you can check why?

[adamk]

Oh, I know why it's not getting created... I have to copy out this line from setup/Linux/make.local:

Code: Select all

        cp -R prototype/* /


If I don't copy that out, make install fails even earlier with:

Code: Select all

rm -f "/usr/lib/oss"/modules/*.o
cp -R prototype/* /
cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/usr/share/man' with directory `prototype/usr/share/man'
make: *** [copy] Error 1


I'm guessing that's why Makefile.osscore (which is under the prototype directory) never makes ubuntu_version_hack.inc.

If I comment out the include for ubuntu_version_hack.inc, make install fails with:

I'm guessing this all ultimately stems from copying out "cp -R prototype/* /" . I've had to do that for a while, though, and never had this problem till just today

So, then, how do I properly fix:

Code: Select all

cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/usr/share/man' with directory `prototype/usr/share/man'

Edit setup/Linux/make.local and replace "cp -R" line with the following line:

(cd prototype; find -L . -type f | cpio -pud /)

Problem is that if in the filesystem a directory exists with the same name as a filename in prototype, cpio will overwrite the directory, but that's not a realistic scenario in this case.
