[hpoj-devel] RE: can't compile officejet drivers

[PASCHAL,DAVID (HP-Roseville,ex1) <dav...@hp...>]

Hi, Cyrus.  modversions.h may get generated when building a custom kernel.
Off the top of my head I don't know what purpose is served by including this
file.  Try removing lines that include it and see what happens.
