Package: kernel-package Version: 10.068 Severity: important Tags: none When doing cross-compilation of kernel and externel modules, I found that --cross-compile=- option is ignored with targets modules*. The compilation fails because it tries to use the "-gcc" compiler.
Example: cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18 && make M=/usr/src/modules/loop-aes/loop-AES/tmp-d-kbuild modules make[4]: -gcc: Command not found When I change the file debian/ruleset/modules.mk, generated by make-kpkg debian, to add the variable CROSS_ARG to the targets modules*, It use the correct compiler "gcc". So I believe the variable CROSS_ARG is missing in the file /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/modules.mk José Calhariz -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pt_PT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.13.25 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.17-5etch1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.1.1-15 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.6-15 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.6-5 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.1-21 The GNU C compiler ii gettext 0.16.1-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.81-2 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 1.0.8 manage translated Debconf template Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Development Librari -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
