Unable to build NVIDIA package

Rinaldus · 2009-12-31 17:33:46

I use kernel with PAE support with self-built nvidia drivers. After upgrading to kernel 2.6.32 I wanted to rebuild nvidia package. I modified PKGBUILD and nvidia.install accordingly with Arch wiki but I was unable to build nvidia package. Here's console output:

Creating directory NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg0                       
Verifying archive integrity... OK

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure                                        
you either have configured kernel sources matching your                                      
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed                                        
on your system.                                                                              

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate  
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or   
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this    
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with 
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.   

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or 
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Here's my PKGBUILD:

build() {
    cd $srcdir
    sh NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-${pkgver}-pkg0.run --extract-only
    cd NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-${pkgver}-pkg0

    cd usr/src/nv/
    ln -s Makefile.kbuild Makefile
    make SYSSRC=/lib/modules/${_kernver}/build module || return 1

    mkdir -p $pkgdir/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/video/
    install -m644 nvidia.ko $pkgdir/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/video/

    sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION='.*'/KERNEL_VERSION='${_kernver}'/" $startdir/nvidia.install
}

Here's my nvidia.install:

post_install() {
    KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.32-pae'
    depmod $KERNEL_VERSION
}

post_upgrade() {
    post_install
    rmmod nvidia || echo 'In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manually.'
}

post_remove() {
    KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.32-pae'
    depmod $KERNEL_VERSION
}

What did I wrong?

it's a problem with the kernel build.
the maintainer has: rm -f ${pkgdir}/lib/modules/${_kernver}/{source,build}

i think he's doing like is it in kernel26 but the thing is we have kernel26-headers and with -pae you don't have it. ask to include them in the same package as before or do kernel26-pae-headers

wonder your answer explains but does not solve anything for me.
Please explain in other words what "do kernel26-pae-headers" shall mean.
Custom header package for custom kernel , if yes how ?
Modify custom kernel PKGBUILD so that sources stay alive , if yes how ?
Noone seems to find it important to update the wiki pages after that headers package split that rendered them useless !
Strange ...

i see the maintainer fix the problem in kernel26-pae 2.6.32.4-1.

tuxfusion · 2010-01-24 15:06:55

This leads no where. i will open another thread. i'm building my own custom kernel from abs ... !

I built my custom kernel by modifying the kernel26 PKGBUILD to create custom kernel and headers packages - I use the default firmware package.

Works as expected. I've built some drivers against it, but not nvidia.
