I have investigated the problem further: The patch seems to be needed, when the modules have to be built for a kernel other than the currently running one. I believe there where two typos in the patch:
It has to be "ifdef KVERREL" instead of "ifeq KVERREL" - module-assistant passes the kernel version as KVERREL in the same format as 'uname -r' would give for the running kernel. Also KEVERREL doesn't seem to exist. I have attached a debdiff that corrects these problems. I have verified that the modules build on a hardy test VM and that the KVERREL variable is used (instead of 'uname -r') I will upload an updated version to my PPA. ** Attachment added: "Debdiff modifying 03_kernel_makefile_fix.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12724681/open-vm-tools_2008.01.23-74039-0ubuntu2.debdiff -- module-assistant fails to install open-vm-source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
