Can't build tp_smapi package under custom kernel, built ok with stock

Hi,
I followed this guide and built a custom kernel http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … n_with_ABS   (with the PKGBUILD file found in this page).
Basically I changed the LOCALVERSION while config kernel module, and changed processor type to Pentium M, exclude some drivers.

Now I can't build tp_smapi package with yaourt -S, gives me error:

-> Extracting tp_smapi-0.40.tgz with bsdtar
==> Entering fakeroot environment...

patching file Makefile

However it builds fine if run the stock Arch kernel.

This package depends on kernel26-headers, it pulls this down and installed, but itself is failed.
I believe the error is due to it requires the kernel26-headers as the other AUR packages don't.

tp_smapi's PKGBUILD is here
http://dpaste.com/162443/

Any suggestions/help?

Your custom kernel needs needs a custom headers package. kernel26-headers install in /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-ARCH - headers for your kernel need to be installed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.8-custom. You can either include them in your custom kernel package, or you can create a separate headers package.

Thank you tomk. Consider this as solved.

Just for your information, you can also patch tp_smapi into the kernel source and build the modules along with the kernel: http://git.zen-kernel.org/?p=kernel/zen … c7fcbb2c9f

Re: Can't build tp_smapi package under custom kernel, built ok with stock

Hi,

I wanted to build a kernel26-ice with tp_smapi included as I would love to have more than one kernel on my system. However, I do not find any information on patching the kernel with such patch. Can anyone guide me to the right direction?

EDIT:
Excuse me for any inconvenience, I found, that kernel26-zen may be what I am looking for as it uses tp_smapi as a patch.
