Need 'make scripts prepare' between menuconfig and visor.
that doesn't solve the problem. i should have mentioned that i already (unnecessarily, i suggest) ran "make modules_prepare", but the problem persists. the issue seems to be that running that last make command to build the module visor.ko doesn't somehow signal the Makefile that this is a *module* build, and therefore no module-related initialization is done, such as creating that directory or setting the Makefile variable MODVERDIR, etc, etc. once you've build at least one module successfully, then the directory .tmp_versions exists so future module builds will work fine. it's only when you do a clean, *immediately* followed by trying to do an in-tree module build, that this is going to bite you. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
