[SOLVED] OSS + Custom Kernel Issue

adamlau · 2011-01-15 04:06:18

OSS build environment set up for REGPARM kernels


Warning: Cannot locate the Linux kernel development package for
         Linux kernel version  2.6.37-CUSTOM
         Please install the kernel development package if linking the
         OSS modules fails.

The kernel development package may be called kernel-devel, kernel-smp-devel,
kernel-sources, kernel-headers or something like that. Please refer
to the documentation of your Linux distribution if there are any
difficulties in installing the kernel/driver development environment.

For your Linux distribution the right kernel source package
might be kernel-source.

Building module osscore
Failed to compile OSS
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.37-CUSTOM/build M=/usr/lib/oss/build modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.37-CUSTOM/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2

Relinking the OSS kernel modules failed

kernel26-devel is installed (not the answer), I have the 2.6.37 source files at /usr/src/linux-2.6.37-CUSTOM. How to resolve and how to extract the .h files from the currently running CUSTOM kernel and where do I place them in order to build OSS?

A total brainfart was the culprit. I compiled the kernel within /tmp as tmpfs and the headers were lost upon reboot. The thing is that I was conscious enough to rebuild nvidia before rebooting, but tried to build oss after the headers files were lost. So simple, so simple...OSS up and running again...
