Instead you use dkms add, dkms build, and dkms install commands. The rpm should do these for you, but you can always use the commands yourself to see what's going on. dkms status is also useful. man dkms will tell you all. Not to say that this will solve your build problems, but... Also, try the rpmforge list as this is an rpmforge rpm. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS 4 dkms-ndiswrapper
Hi - I'm trying to get wireless running on CentOS 4.7 on a dual core laptop (latitude-e4500) for an employee. I'm having trouble with building dkms-ndiswraper-1.54-1.el4.rf - enclosed are the errors messages. The kernel was rebuilt to disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS. The errors prior to rebuilding the kernel are identical to the errors after rebuilding the kernel and rebooting - minus the error regarding the CONFIG_4KSTACKS. Basically I just typed make in the directory. I'm using dkms this time - I've never used it before. I'm under the impression that all I had to do was type 'make' in the directory in the ndiswrapper directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Agile make -C /home/praveen/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 M=/usr/src/ndiswra pper-1.54-1.el4.rf make[1]: Entering directory `/home/praveen/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6 .9' MKEXPORT /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/crt_exports.h CC [M] /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/crt.o In file included from /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/crt.c:16: /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h:289:1: warning: "for_each_possib le_cpu" redefined In file included from include/linux/sched.h:15, from include/linux/module.h:10, from /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h:22, from /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/crt.c:16: include/linux/cpumask.h:374:1: warning: this is the location of the previous def inition In file included from /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/crt.c:16: /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h:649: error: field `lock' has inc omplete type /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h: In function `raise_irql': /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h:686: warning: implicit declarati on of function `mutex_lock' /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h: In function `lower_irql': /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/ntoskernel.h:708: warning: implicit declaration of function `mutex_unlock'make[2]: *** [/usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf/crt.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.54-1.el4.rf] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/praveen/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9' make: *** [modules] Error 2 -- "We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge." -- Rutherford D.
