true enough - although for those of us using rsync (even when doing your cp
-rl method for maintaining trees) it often takes less time than figuring out
which changes to options depend on which *when the version changes*.

(and, OK, I don't often hand-edit .config - but every now and then ;-)....

vi Makefile, change EXTRAVERSION to append -ids (my usual kinda practice)...

make oldconfig dep vmlinux modules

 - builds dmasound_core & dmasound_awacs

make_install creates a new /lib/modules/2.4.0-test13-pre3-ids and the
modules appear to be installed...

so... it seems to work for me.

IIRC there was, about 8 months ago, a problem with modversions.h
dependencies in the dmasound driver...  it doesn't seem to be there in the
set of code I just pulled.

so... am I still missing the problem?

The problem only shows up when I boot the new kernel and try to insmod the
dmasound modules, have you tried that?


If make dep is always needed after make oldconfig that may be the problem as I
also rely on make oldconfig telling me if I have to do that. (real men, you
know ;)


I'll report back when I've had the chance to test that.

I always do make dep after make oldconfig.

yes, just double-checked (in case my mind was playing tricks...) all OK
AFAICT.

I'd assumed it was necessary... I can't recall ever seeing the Makefile
finish an oldconfig without saying "now do a make dep"...

ciao,
Iain.

Me neither probably... This was it. Thanks guys for bringing me on the right
track.


Michel, happily running 2.4.0 from bk

I just did (after an absence of nearly six months ;-) :

rsync ppc.samba.og::linux-pmac-devel - which picked up 2.4.0-t13-p3
make mrproper
make menuconfig (selected, amongst other things, sound card support built
in, pmac sound as module)
make dep vmlinux modules modules_install
  - I saw it compile the damsound_core, dmasound_awacs
copied the kernel to my MacOS partition...
rebooted
modprobe dmasound_awacs

and viola!
it seemed to work as before...

(so maybe that wasn't what you were saying at all ;-)

ciao,
Iain.

Real men don't have the time to do `make mrproper' and `make menuconfig' every
time the kernel changed, so they rely on `make oldconfig' and `make dep'
instead...

Sorry Michel, no clue...

problems when recompiling dmasound modules

[Michel Dänzer]

Whenever I rebuild my linux-pmac-devel tree when the kernel version changed I
get bitten by this:

The sound modules don't get rebuilt so their version doesn't match the kernel
version and they can't be insmoded.

I can investigate to find a solution myself but I figured it should be easier
for Geert or one of the other dmasound hackers to fix it.
