 Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2006 2:22 pm Post subject: linux/config.h does not exist! [kernel 2.6.19] |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm getting the following error while emerging acx. I don't know what to do!
/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/acx-0.3.35_p20060521/work/wlan.c:40:26:error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory
EDIT: here is the solution:
nano /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r1/include/linux/config.h
and copy and paste this
| Code: |
#ifndef _LINUX_CONFIG_H
#define _LINUX_CONFIG_H
/* This file is no longer in use and kept only for backward compatibility.
* autoconf.h is now included via -imacros on the commandline
*/
#include <linux/autoconf.h>
#endif

Give the output of: | Code: | ls -aFhn /usr/src
ls -aFhn /usr/src/linux/
eix "\-sources" |
You must have Linux sources configured.

If you are running 2.6.19 then there is no linux/config.h any more and packages creating modules have to be updated. [Edited to add] There is also this fix
If you are not running 2.6.19 then Arfrever has the podium.

FYI this is a fresh gentoo install.... 2 days old.
I've used genkernel for kernel compilation and install
I've installed gentoo-sources
I have the "~x86" keyword set.
and I created a /usr/src/linux symlink using the symlink USE flag.
this is the output which you requested:

| A similar issue was popping up for me when trying to compile vesfb-tng in 2.6.19-gentoo (missing config.h). Apparently, this was fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r1 so maybe that'll carry over to your issue as well. |

I didn't find any bugs on this; you should write one I think.

Well, the fix should propagate to suspend2-sources: there the config.h-not-found error still remains for vesafb-tng.
Also: does it only occur to me or are there substantially more warnings while compiling the sources? "return value not used" and such-the-like. Although these are only minor issues it makes me feel somehow uncomfortable...

gentoo-sources are supposed to be fixed... The problem remains (at least) in suspend2-sources...

i use 2.6.19-r1, too. it was not fixed for me (when trying to emerge ipw3945 or ieee80211, i dont remember which one, i got the same message with linux/config.h missing). i simply did a "touch" on the missing file  |

It is quite embarrassing that ATI has not fixed this since linux/config.h has been deprecated since vanilla kernel version 2.6.15
still, changes like this is quite a mess, but the linux way. |

I don't think ATI's alone in here..... I bumped against acx module, which still relied on config.h as well.
I'm sure there're quite a few external modules and drivers out there still depending on this....
maybe keep this post sticky until some of the most common modules/drivers are sorted. |

I'm using gentoo-source 2.6.19-r2, and had to make the dummy linux/config.h file as described in the first post. That finally allowed acx to compile successfully. However, since then I've been unable to connect to my wireless network (also mentioned in a bugzilla comment). The acx module loads fine and there aren't any oddities in dmesg; anyone else got this working or have any tips?

I have it working with gentoo-sources-2.6.19..... I don't know what kind of information I can provide for you to compare or diagnose your problem with.
but there's not much to it, except this little twist
in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 you have to load acx as follows
| Code: | | acx debug=0 firmware_dir=/lib/firmware |

Unfortunately, that didn't solve my problem  I've spent most of today trying to figure out why it's not associating, but for now I'm just going to use my 1.6.17 kernel.
I'm also pretty sure that it was loading the firmware before I put in your modified /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 line, because it showed up in iwconfig and I could set keys and the essid. I don't know if it changed anything, but I'm leaving it in for now.

I have the same problem with 2.6.19 kernels, but not 2.6.18s. When net.wlan0 starts, it says:
| Code: | * Starting wlan0
* Loading networking modules for wlan0
* modules: apipa arping ccwgroup macchanger macnet rename iwconfig
* essidnet iptunnel ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
* iwconfig provides wireless
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Running preup function
* Configuring wlan0 for MAC address 00:09:5B:BF:24:0B ... [ ok ]
* Configuring wireless network for wlan0 [ ok ]
* Scanning for access points
* Found "TARANIS" at 00:14:6C:AB:B0:1E (managed, encrypted)
* Connecting to "TARANIS" in managed mode (WEP enabled - open) ...
* Couldn't associate with any access points on wlan0 [ !! ]

(this section then repeats another 13 times)
I've read about a problem with firmware, udev > 0.96 and hotplug and I do have hotplug installed, because acx_firmware depends on it. Could that be the issue? |
