WinDriver |
| Version: |
6.22 and below |
While compiling the WinDriver module (windrvr.o for my version) under Linux
('make install' in the WinDriver directory) I receive the following error messages:
usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error
Modules should never use kernel-headers system headers,
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error
but headers from an appropriate kernel-source.
What am I doing wrong?

There are two possible reasons for this error:
- There is no Linux kernel source in the /usr/src directory.
To fix this:
- Download the exact kernel version you are working on from one of the mirrors
(For example: http://www.linuxhq.com/,
http://www.kernel.org) and run
' uname -a ' to get the version of the running
Linux kernel.
- Install the kernel package from your Linux distribution disk.
- You neglected to create a 'linux' symbolic link
(/usr/src/linux), or you created
a symbolic link that is pointing to the wrong Linux kernel version.
[For example, you are compiling for Linux kernel 2.2 and the symbolic
link points to Linux kernel 2.4 source tree].
To fix this:
Become super user: $su ;
Change directory to: /usr/src/:
# cd /usr/src/ ;
Delete the previous link you created (if any):
# rm linux ;
And create a new symbolic: # ln -s linux-2.2
linux).
For further information, refer to the "Installation And Setup" chapter of the WinDriver User's Manual for your WinDriver version.
Beginning with version 6.23, WinDriver uses a different installation mechanism on Linux, which should prevent this error from occurring.
