Nevertheless IMHO the `make cloneconfig' should work out of the box. That is is should be possible to patch and build ordinary kernel modules for the current used kernel without disabling CONFIG_MODVERSIONS ;) I'm not talking about foreign modules which could be build by make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules .. as this does not work with installed kernel source tree AFAICS: make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.11.6-3-obj/x86_64/desktop' CC kernel/bounds.s GEN /usr/src/linux/include/generated/bounds.h CC arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s GEN /usr/src/linux/include/generated/asm-offsets.h make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/missing-syscalls', needed by `__build'.

Actually invoking the make directly in that way seems broken with the current setup. You can copy /usr/src/linux-obj/xxx/yyy, correct the linux source directory, then you can run make locally, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In particular, you need these steps at least: export KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 export KBUILD_OVERRIDE=1 ... # create *.symref files in the tree if test -e %my_builddir/kabi/%cpu_arch/symtypes-%build_flavor; then %_sourcedir/modversions --unpack . < $_ fi But if you want to only build a module, then simply do make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
