Cannot build version.h [Solved]

[Firalus]

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new not only to Sabayon, but generally to Linux, so I hope I won't sound stupid asking about this.

A few days ago I decided to install AMD Proprietary 13.1 Legacy Drivers. The installer came up with an error. After reading the log file I identified the cause of the problem - lack of version.h in /include/linux/

I did some research on how to get the file, but after trying:

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/src/linux-3.7.0-sabayon/
# make /include/linux/version.h

all I get is an information that no rules can build the file.

What should I do to solve the issue?

Welcome Firalus,

If i understood, you had already installed the Sabayon 10 with kernel 3.5.0 which is default and you decided to install the newest kernel 3.7.0 version and you found the above problem?

These two links describes how to upgrade the kernel using the Entropy or genkernel. But remember the process does not recommended for the newest user.

I did upgrade the kernel manually using Entropy, following the instructions in the HOWTO.

I encountered the problem after rebooting with the upgraded kernel.

Edit: Solved, it's just that version.h is in a different location in the new kernel.
All you need to do is create a symlink:

Code: Select all

# ln -s /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux/version.h
