Description: When doing a make install, all stuff is done in eg /lib/modules/2.6.8 (Debian SARGE) instead of uname -r, which is in our case 2.6.8-custom.1+vserver

Comments: By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2007-02-19 09:40:08.000-0600

We need to see the console output plus uname -r and any other information that could be of help.

zaptel make update give:

At revision 2172

But I can't compile zaptel anymore

CC [M] /usr/src/asterisk-trunk/zaptel/ztcodec_dte/base.o
/usr/src/asterisk-trunk/zaptel/ztcodec_dte/base.c: In function `wcdte_boot_processor':
/usr/src/asterisk-trunk/zaptel/ztcodec_dte/base.c:1448: error: `_binary_dte_firm_ima_start' undeclared (first use in this function)

Here is the uname -r output

keewi:/usr/src/asterisk-trunk/zaptel# uname -r
2.6.8-custom.1+vserver

Please note that it will be very difficult for me to do further tests during the 2 next weeks.

If you don't need zttranscode, you can skip that module.

Which kernel do you use, exactly?
ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

is that the source / headers of the current kernel?
By: tootai (tootai) 2007-03-05 04:07:58.000-0600

Yes, that the source of the current kernel. Here is the output you ask for:

ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jan 21 15:26 /lib/modules/2.6.8-custom.1+vserver/build -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8

What is the output of:

/sbin/modinfo ./zaptel.ko

One longshot:

Maybe it can get you on the right track.
By: tootai (tootai) 2007-03-07 02:52:09.000-0600

Tzafrir,

I don't create debs (make, make install) and also, I'm running Sarge with 2.6.8 kernel. Latest trunk zaptel still doesn't compile the zttranscode. I skipped the module, here is the output you ask for:

Any news about this matter? I still have the problem with todays SVN

By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2007-03-29 07:04:52

sorry: could you please run the modinfo command from a different directory?

Is /lib/modules/2.6.8-custom.1+vserver/build a valid link? is /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 indeed the directory in which you built your kernel?

Could you please post a complete trace of 'make install' ?
By: tootai (tootai) 2007-03-29 07:29:24

No problem, it's not a major problem ;-)

What is also to notice that the modules are in extra dir, not in misc.

By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2007-03-31 02:30:36

Please run:

modinfo zaptel

(and not modinfo ./zaptel.ko), to see what module should get loaded automatically by modprobe.

Also: again: could you please provide a complete trace of 'make install' ?
By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2007-03-31 02:35:21

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't see your trace.

Could you please run:

make install V=1

This will run the kernel make in verbose mode, and thus we'll see exactly what those INSTALL lines do.
By: tootai (tootai) 2007-04-02 08:07:32

Clearly you see where it goes! Interesting is that the rm stuff is always done in the right directory.

Daniel
By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2007-05-05 23:39:02

This seems like a badly-configured kernel. The path 2.6.8 comes from the kernel sources themselves.

Was this the source tree used to build the kernel?
By: tootai (tootai) 2007-05-06 06:47:11

The one from Debian Sarge:

keewi:~# aptitude search kernel-source
v kernel-source -
v kernel-source-2.2 -
v kernel-source-2.2.20 -
p kernel-source-2.2.25 - Linux kernel source for version 2.2.25
v kernel-source-2.4 -
v kernel-source-2.4.10 -
v kernel-source-2.4.18 -
i kernel-source-2.4.27 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.27 with Debian patches
v kernel-source-2.4.27-custom.7 -

let's test your kernel with a slightly different build system.

wget http://updates.xorcom.com/rapid/pool/main/z/zaptel/zaptel-source_1.2.16.xpp.r3712.sarge-1_all.deb
dpkg --install zaptel-source_1.2.16.xpp.r3712.sarge-1_all.deb

I recommend running the following as non-root to guarantee you will not break anything on the system. Though it will attempt not to break anything:

m-a -u . -t -i -k /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build build zaptel

If this ends without error, please provide the output of:

dpkg -c zaptel-modules-*.deb

If this fails, please provide the build log (which will be under ./var_cache_modass )
By: tootai (tootai) 2007-05-25 10:37:24

Tzafrir, I think you missed something: it's Asterisk 1.4 not 1.2! I checked on xorcom website and didn't found any deb build concerning 1.4.

Do you perhaps just want me to compile, install and remove it imediatelly without running any Asterisk instance?

If I'm the only one having this problem, you can close this bug. I think you have better to do with your time and for far more urgent cases.

By: Jason Parker (jparker) 2007-07-09 17:58:02

Yes, it's just for testing purposes - you can install and immediately remove it.

However, I am almost certain that tzafrir was right in saying that it's an improperly configured kernel source tree.
By: Jason Parker (jparker) 2007-07-31 16:24:29

Please reopen if you confirm that this is not a kernel configuration issue.
