Subject: modversion.h improvement suggestion
Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 18:00:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E174OQu-0007H2-00@smtp.web.de> (raw)

Hello,
I tried to compile a device driver module and got the error that 
'modversion.h' cannot be found. My first questions were:
	Are the include paths ok?
	Do the maintainer now what he or she is doing?
	Uses this driver code obsolete kernel stuff?
	Has SuSE forgotten something to install?
Then I started a google search for 'modversion.h' and noticed that this was a 
common problem. And after a while I found the solution -> modversion.h is an 
automatically generated file.

So what about a default modversion.h file:
/* This is an automatically generated file. Do not edit it. */
#error You have not generated the module versions. You have to ...

This hint may save some time for those who are not so fit in kernel issues.

Ciao
	Sebastian
