I agree with the other two replies to this thread regarding this point. |

Oh, yes. That's the one I want. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
One point I think is worth mentioning: we do not need all the magic in the |
| 14 |
mplayer-provided Makefile, and therefore all the trouble that comes with it. |
| 15 |
Most of the problems that we get are because there are three possible scenarios |
| 16 |
for the kernel, that are hard to take care of upstream: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
2.4.x, 2.6.x, 2.6.x + KOUTPUT |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and nobody upstream is expected to care about KOUTPUT, which is something very |
| 21 |
gentoo-specific and which seems to be the cause for most of the trouble. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So, instead of duplicating effort in the Makefile and trying to figure the |
| 24 |
kernel version twice, why not do it once in the ebuild using some nice portage |
| 25 |
function (already implemented), and then simply overwrite the Makefile with a |
| 26 |
version appropriate for the kernel version. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have mentioned this on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28846 as well, |
| 29 |
but what I do in the mga_vid ebuild in my overlay, is to overwrite the Makefile |
| 30 |
with the one quoted below if there is a 2.6 kernel present. (I don't really |
| 31 |
check the kernel version, because this is my *personal* overlay, but the change |
| 32 |
is trivial). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
=== Makefile-2.6 === |
| 35 |
obj-m += mga_vid.o |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
all: mga_vid.ko |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
%.ko: %.c %.h |
| 40 |
$(MAKE) -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
install: |
| 43 |
$(MAKE) -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules_install |
| 44 |
=== EOF === |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The above compiles the module just fine on *any* 2.6.x kernel. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Ah, we don't even the install target. |
