[Tpctl-users] compile errors of thinkpad-5.7 under 2.6.9-rc2 kernel

[Milos M. <mu...@ci...>]

Hi,

I tried to compile thinkpad modules (version 5.7) under  2.6.9-rc2-bk10
kernel, but with no success.

The first way (via make-kpkg modules_image) do not produce .deb file.
(output at the end of this mail).

The second way (via make all) gives folloving errors:

If you have any ideas how to solve this problem, please let me know.

Cheers,
Milos.

PS: In th contrast to documentation - I do not have
include/linux/modversions.h, and I am not able to generate it with 'make
dep' (*** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now.)

(I do have thinkpad-5.7 under /usr/src/modules directory)
