Hi, |

I'm tracking the kernel by hand (following the git tree and doing some |
| 4 |
hacking of my own). However whenever I try and emerge a ebuild that |
| 5 |
involves a kernel module it usually fails to work out the correct |
| 6 |
kernel: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
* Determining the location of the kernel source code |
| 9 |
* Found kernel source directory: |
| 10 |
* /usr/src/linux |
| 11 |
* Found sources for kernel version: |
| 12 |
* 2.6.15-git12 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
* getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file. |
| 15 |
* getfilevar <VARIABLE> <CONFIGFILE> |
| 16 |
* Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory. |
| 17 |
* Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux |
| 18 |
sources. |
| 19 |
* If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so |
| 20 |
that |
| 21 |
* it points to the necessary object directory so that it might |
| 22 |
find .config. |

!!! ERROR: sys-fs/fuse-2.5.0 failed. |
| 25 |
!!! Function linux-info_pkg_setup, Line 534, Exitcode 1 |
| 26 |
!!! Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version |
| 27 |

However with all kernels you should be able to detrmine the root via |
| 29 |
uname -r: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
malory / # ls -l "/lib/modules/`uname -r`" |
| 32 |
total 212 |
| 33 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jan 15 17:16 build |
| 34 |
-> /home/alex/src/kernel/linux-2.6 |
| 35 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jan 15 17:16 source |
| 36 |
-> /home/alex/src/kernel/linux-2.6 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
There really is no need to force people to build as root under /usr/src |
| 39 |
so is it possible to educate portage to use the uname method to |
| 40 |
determine the root of the kernel tree for building kernel modules? |
