DetailsDescription:
When customizing kernel the preferred way (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Customization_with_kernel26_Package), the fglrx cannot be compiled with catalyst_build_module. Steps to reproduce: 1/ Customize a kernel http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Customization_with_kernel26_Package 2/ Build new fglrx module with: catalyst_build_module <name of new kernel> Problem: catalyst_build_module seems to need the build directory of the kernel. Cf. the stock-kernel: /lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH contains a link build: build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-2.6.34-ARCH In /lib/modules/2.6.34-mykernel, the build-link is removed. In the PKGBUILD of kernel26, there's a line that removes the build and source links from /lib/modules/2.6.34-mykernel: # remove build and source links rm -f ${pkgdir}/lib/modules/${_kernver}/{source,build} I commented the removal. The links still exists and point to my home-directory. When I'm logged in, I can compile the fglrx.ko-module for that kernel. My problem is solved, but: 1/ Is this the best way? 2/ Should this be documented? 3/ Are there similar cases, or is this only the case for fglrx? |
