Okay - I am attempting to compile on a shared (virtual host) machine When I use the uname -a command, it displays the following:
Linux ps91497 3.1.9-vs2.3.2.5 #1 SMP Thu Jan 26 02:37:05 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux /usr/src/linux-source-3.2 is where I downloaded the sources: root@ps91497:/usr/src/linux-source-3.2# dpkg-query -l linux-source Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/ trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===================================-==================== ===============-============================================ ========================================== ii linux-source 3.2+44~bpo60+1 Linux kernel source (meta-package) root@ps91497:/usr/src/linux-source-3.2# dpkg-query -s linux-source Package: linux-source Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: kernel Installed-Size: 32 Maintainer: Debian Kernel Team Architecture: all Source: linux-latest (44~bpo60+1) Version: 3.2+44~bpo60+1 Depends: linux-source-3.2 Description: Linux kernel source (meta-package) This package depends on packages containing the sources of the latest Linux kernel. So, to build this software package that I need - I need to convince the compiler that these are my kernel sources. Any simple way to do this? I don't want to mess with environment variables, I just want to get the software built. Any helpful hints would be much appreciated.
