I am Debian user, but I guess the problem is the same there. The "version.h" format seems to be changed, so the following line hangs in the Makefile.
KERNELVERSION=$(shell awk -F\" '/REL/ {print $$2}' $(shell grep -s -l REL $(KERNELSRC)/include/linux/version.h $(KERNELSRC)/include/linux/utsrelease.h)) Just edit Makefile you have in acerhk module and replace the line above by the following (use your kernel version instead): KERNELVERSION=2.6.37 Make will work perfectly after that. Also, if possible, report the problem to "acerhk" developer so they can fix that. I do not have the time for that :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669569 Title: make hangs without even giving any error on 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
