Oh, I notice that I have accidently filed this bug for the wrong package. It is a bug in lirc-modules-sourc and obviously not linux- source. Sorry.
** Description changed: The package lirc-modules-source contains build instructions in the file /usr/src/modules/README. It is explained in this file how to build the kernel-modules using make-kpkg. However, according to other bug reports for ths package, it is easier to build the modules using module- assistent. Maybe it is an idea to describe the build process using this package. It also doesn't require a full kernel source tree, as is stated in the README. + + It should recommend this procedure: + + modules-assistant fakesource + sudo module-assistant --text-mode --kernel-dir /usr/src/linux-source-`uname -r` build lirc + + It would have saved me a lot of time if I knew this procedure earlier. -- lirc-modules-source build instructions not very clear https://launchpad.net/bugs/71325 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
