Building nvidia driver with dkms fails on debian jessie/sid 3.14-rc8 (git)

[tyrell.wkeene@gmail.com (Tyrell Keene)]

Hello everyone,

Not sure if I should send this here since this deals with a proprietary driver but i'll
give it a try.

I'm trying to build the nvidia driver with:

$ sudo dkms build -m nvidia-current -v 331.49 -k  3.14.0-rc8-00011-gf217c44 

it fails with output:

Building module:
cleaning build area....
env CCACHE_DISABLE=1 make -C .SYSSRC=/lib/modules/3.14.0-rc8-00011-gf217c44/build....(bad exit status:2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.14.0-rc8-00011-gf217c44 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/331.49/build/make.log for more information.


make.log (attached) tells me the kernel config is invalid and to make oldconfig && make prepare
I do so but I still get the same error. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tyrell
