Re: Compiling third-party kernel modules for amd64 kernel on Debian/386

2005-07-22 Thread Xavier Bestel 
Ok, I finally found a solution: I rebuilt the script/mod/modpost
executable and copied it over the one in the kernel-build directory, and
the installation went perfectly.

Thanks,

Xav

Like the original poster, I'm using a 64bits kernel in a 32bits
userspace environment. I have added -m64 to the kernel headers' Makefile
CFLAGS to have gcc (which has the same version, as checked by
vmware-config.pl) generate code for the correct architecture, but
modpost fails in the same way.

I tried the any-any-update93 to install vmware build 13124, but it still
fails with:

Any hint ?
