From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: While trying to build the ndiswrapper module I get an error saying Module.symvers is missing. I believe this should be in the /lib/modules/-kver-/build directory. http://lwn.net/Articles/79984/ Here is an article mentioning this file. The file is refered to in the Makefile in the build directory, not the Makefile for ndiswrapper. if possible can you email me the Module.symvers file for that kernel package? I'd like to see if that fixed my problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.322 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download ndiswrapper from sf 2. Try to compile it 3. Actual Results: Failure Expected Results: Success Additional info:
Confirmed while building nVIDIA module. I cannot determine how this file gets created, but it is referenced by scripts/modpost and is removed from the source tree by 'make mrproper'. Rebuilding the entire kernel and modules from the kernel-source did create this file (I rebuilt a custom build of -1.326 so I cannot post it for you). I will rebuild the default config i686 kernel -1.322 later and attach the Module.symvers if it is created. Using the kernel-<vers>.src.rpm and rebuilding via rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 did NOT create the Modules.symvers file anywhere in the rpms (that I can find). I presume the kernel sources are being cleaned (mrproper) before being packaged. Modules.symvers needs to show up in the /lib/modules/<vers>/build directory before it is destroyed. Once this file was copied into the build directory my module compile works.
