[opensuse] bash "make" error
Hello SuSE people, This is on 11.4 KDE4. Trying to compile a driver and make tells me my kernel is misconfigured. It tells me ": echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src So I do that (I think) and I get this: make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop. I don't know what rule it wants or how to do it. Would some kindGURU help out the ignorant please?

More specifically do you have kernel-$flavor-devel installed? It provides the bits you're missing above. I presume you're running kernel-desktop so install kernel-desktop-devel as well as kernel-source.

Hello Tejas. Yes, according to rpm, they were both installed as dependencies with kernek0source. when I try to do the "make" command I get the same error: ----------------------------------------------------------------- echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When I try doing that, evidently incorrectly, I get a result of not finding the target.

Bob S Hi The newer kernels place autoconf.h in the directory called 'generated' from 2.6.32 I think, older code looks in the directory called 'linux' for autoconf.h so it says it's not there.... hence your error.
So you either patch the code that is looking for the autoconf.h file or create a softlink that's what my script does for using (In my case) for example vmware-workstation 6.5.5.

The problem is that whoever wrote whatever driver you're trying to compile, has not kept it up-to-date for the latest kernel revisions. What actually is it you're trying to compile, maybe there's an easier solution?

Tejas, OK, I contacted Logitech to purchase a webcam for Linux. They reccomended a particular model and provided me with a link for the driver I needed. the link was qc-usb: Linux Driver for Quickcam USB cameras.html It is a kind of a manual. That directed me to a sourceforge location to download the driver, http://sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga/files/ I downloaded it unzipped it and then tried to make it. Thus leading to my present frustration. I think I saw someplace in the manual that there is a CVS version also. Would that be better? If I can find it and download it, that is.

Well I guess you're right because after I tried locate ( db rebuilt) as suggested by Dirk and find by Patrick it wasn;t there. And I don't know what oprions you mean. The first 10 or 15 jines? I've probably tried them all. I tried running the scipt that you kindly provided AS ROOT in a Konsole and I am getting a "Permission Denied". This is sooooo...frustrating. Just a simple dricer?

Hi No it didn't, that's just showing you the options to use and where it will go...
Malcolm.
Well I guess you're right because after I tried locate ( db rebuilt) as suggested by Dirk and find by Patrick it wasn;t there. And I don't know what oprions you mean. The first 10 or 15 jines? I've probably tried them all.
I tried running the scipt that you kindly provided AS ROOT in a Konsole and I am getting a "Permission Denied". This is sooooo...frustrating. Just a simple dricer? Somebody, anybody, please help.
Bob S Hi It's telling you the options...
make all or kernel make all or make all LINUX_DIR= or kernel source make install or make install and finally make clean. Just a query, what is the PCI ID of the device, form lsub caommand, do you see the device appear in dmesg when you plug it in? From my limited google, maybe it should be using another newer driver, can you paste the output of lsmod to http://paste.opensuse.org/ and post the link? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop up 11 days 13:49, 6 users, load average: 0.42, 0.15, 0.14 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 270.41.19 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Bob S Hi So it's supported and recognized by the uvcvideo driver http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/
There should be no need to build a driver then? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop up 11 days 21:46, 5 users, load average: 0.28, 0.15, 0.15 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 270.41.19 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Malcolm I feel kind of stupid. Evidently even Logitech doesn;t know it and sentm me off hunting for a driver. I hope now, I don't have to build a driver. I was shocked after seeeing the modules in lsmod. I know I did not a few days before. But that was before I was fooling with a tiny toggle switch on the camera wondering what it did. Maybe I just found out. But, I still don't see the camera anywhere. Guess I need to find some software program to use it. Anyway, thanks again for all of your patience and help.

Hello SuSE people,
This is on 11.4 KDE4. Trying to compile a driver and make tells me my kernel is misconfigured. It tells me ": echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src
So I do that (I think) and I get this: make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop.
I don't know what rule it wants or how to do it. Would some kindGURU help out the ignorant please?
Do you have the kernel sources installed ?
Yes Per, and it brought in another half dozen or so devel- packages Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
