[Devil-linux-develop] Host kernel too recent/build kernel too old

[Arnaud Gomes-do-V. <Arn...@ir...>]

Hi,

I have not been able to find any reference to this problem. When I try
to build Devil Linux (rel-1-0-patches branch if this matters) on a box
with a recent kernel, I get the following error when configuring for
glibc:

checking installed Linux kernel header files... 2.0.10 or later
checking for kernel header at least 2.4.24-vs1.23... too old!
configure: error: *** The available kernel headers are older than the requested
*** compatible kernel version
ERROR
/data/build/scripts/glibc build failed
make: *** [build] Error 1
root:/data/build#

Is there any workaround except rebooting the build box with a recent
kernel?

heiko did some fixes for that problem, as he post yesterday.. try the
latest cvs version...  

if its not working, then look in the glibc script and 
replace

KVER=$(uname -r)

with the the content of /usr/include/linux/version.h 

hope this helps..

The change is backported to the 1.0 branch, just update from CVS.
