 |
|
I have been having an issue with emerging certain packages such as the infamous ati-drivers and ntfs3g because I am missing the script modpost... I see it in my kernel source directory(the source for it at least), but I cannot figure out how to build it. I used "genkernel all --menuconfig" to build my kernel making only minor tweaks to the genkernel defaults(added fat/fat32 support) I am using gentoo-sources for my kernel source. Any ideas? I'm stuck 
[Update]
I figured out how to make it but I was missing files... I am unmerging gentoo-sources and then remerging them... I will post back if the problem persists.
[Update]
Still not there... Somebody tell me if this is upposed to be in gentoo-sources so I can file a bug; For right now I just copied it from another comp using a slightly older gentoo-sources

It's in the main kernel source Makefile at the top level and (I'm no Makefile expert) it appears that it will be compiled with "make all" which will include "make modules".
So, it seems as it the standard "make && make modules_install" should create it.

Is er a symlink called linux to your kernel source directory:
| Code: | $ ls /usr/src/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 21 21:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Sep 7 09:07 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 20 2005 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Aug 21 21:35 linux -> linux-2.6.16-suspend2-r8/
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Sep 7 02:59 linux-2.6.16-suspend2-r8
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Aug 25 20:44 linux-2.6.17-suspend2-r4 |
