Indeed:
Strange, I think that the Makefile should be created by ./configure, which features in the debian/dkms.conf.in. Would it be possible for you to provide your make.log? > root@<hostname>:~# ls /var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/datapath/linux > compat Kbuild.in Makefile.in Makefile.main.in Modules.mk > > If I add in debian/dkms.conf.in something like this: > -MAKE="./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` ; make -C > datapath/linux" > +MAKE="./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` ; cp > datapath/linux/Makefile.in datapath/linux/Makefile ; cp > datapath/linux/Makefile.main.in datapath/linux/Makefile.main ; make -C > datapath/linux" > > then I have further errors: > > checking for Linux source directory... configure: error: cannot find source > directory (please use --with-linux-source) > make: Entering directory > `/var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/datapath/linux' > Makefile.main:8: @abs_srcdir@/../Modules.mk: No such file or directory > Makefile.main:9: @abs_srcdir@/Modules.mk: No such file or directory > Makefile.main:55: *** Linux kernel source not configured - missing > version.h. Stop. > make: Leaving directory `/var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/datapath/linux' That figures. The Makefile should be created using Makefile.in as a template and part of that process is to substitute @..@ sequences for their desired values. > Note that *I do* have linux-headers-3.1.0-1-686-pae, > linux-headers-3.1.0-1-common and linux-kbuild-3.1 installed on my server, > so it should be able to find what it needs.

I'll try and set up pbuilder on this machine to test that theory, but it may not be until tomorrow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
