The new 319.12 driver's makefile has been improved so that the dkms build can work with split source/build-output but the command line arguments have to change.
** Patch added: "Merge nvidia's fix for split dkms builds." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/570323/+attachment/3637742/+files/dkms.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570323 Title: DKMS cannot build nvidia-graphics-drivers against a custom kernel using a separate build ouput directory Status in Dynamic Kernel Module Support: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When building against a custom kernel using a separate build output directory, the source directory (/lib/modules/<version>/source) should be passed to the nvidia makefile as SYSSRC and the build output directory (/lib/modules/<version>/build) as SYSOUT. Currently dkms passes the build output directory as SYSSRC - which will only work if the build was done inside the source directory, for obvious reasons. I don't know if this is a dkms bug (ie: dkms cannot express the two directories) or an nvidia packaging bug.
