version.h

version.h

[runcoderen]

hi all:
the LDD 3rd edition is based on linux-2.6.10.
Thus I downloaded the special kernel code.

but it can't find the version.h file.

the path I try to find is linux-2.6.10/include/linux

Hi,

Since linux 2.6.25, include/linux/version.h is a generated file.
I.e., it is produced at kernel make/build time.

2.6.24 and before do have include/linux/version.h.

Yep, my bad.  In all of 2.6, version.h is a generated file.
(The trees where I found it were not clean, i.e., they already contained
the generated file.)

This file is generated by the top Makefile.

version.h

[David Gómez]

It seems that in 2.4.10 include/linux/version.h has not updated the macro
UTS_VERSION to the new kernel version. I found this error when trying to
compile alsa-drivers and the configure script couldn't find the right
modules directory.

that file is auto-generated. Read the kernel howto and make sure to go through
all the necessary build steps first.
