in the place of %kernel_module_package -x debug -x trace
hope this helps. building's been scheduled...

Hi
Lets see (crossing fingers) By adding the suse_version it means you can
use one spec file for other releases, arches, distros with one spec
file.

make[3]:
*** /usr/src/packages/BUILD/compat-wireless-2.6.30/obj/default/: Is a
directory. Stop.

Help please, What does this paragraph do?

%setup
set -- *
mkdir source
mv "$@" source/ # <-- this mv what?

Then this might not work with the source dir :

for flavor in %flavors_to_build; do
       rm -rf obj/$flavor
       cp -r source obj/$flavor
       make -C %{kernel_source $flavor} modules M=$PWD/obj/$flavor
done

and hence I changed it to :

for flavor in %flavors_to_build; do
       rm -rf obj/$flavor
       cp -r . obj/$flavor <-- here we should cp all compat-wireless dir files, don't we?
       make -C %{kernel_source $flavor} modules M=$PWD/obj/$flavor
done

Hi
The $@ is just the glob created by the set command to copy all the
files in one hit to source directory.

This spec file is just for building individual modules, so I think your
better having a look at this compat-wireless src rpm located here
http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...SUSE_11.1/src/

hi again!
Well I managed to make the build occur, compilation goes well (and fast!!) . What I did realize, is to stick on the readme.file from compat-wireless

1. make
2. make install
3. make unload

:

%description
Compat-wireless was designed to allow you to install the latest
bleeding edge Linux wireless drivers on older kernels. Sometimes you
don't want to run bleeding edge wireless and but compat-wireless gives
you no other option, that's where the compat-wireless stable snapshots
come in.

This package allows you install the 2.6.30 Linux wireless
drivers on kernels >= 2.6.27.

For more information please see:

%setup
set -- *
mkdir source
mv "$@" source/
mkdir obj
/sbin/depmod -a
%build
# Set build to default kernel
%if 0%{?suse_version} == 1120
export flavors to build=desktop pae default
%elsea
export flavors to build=default pae
%endif
export EXTRA_CFLAGS='-DVERSION=\"%version\"'
for flavor in %flavors_to_build; do
       rm -rf obj/$flavor
       cp -r source obj/$flavor
       cd obj/$flavor
	make KLIB=%{kernel_source $flavor} \
	   KLIB_BUILD=%{kernel_source $flavor}
	# make -C %{kernel_source $flavor} modules M=$PWD/obj/$flavor
       cd ../../.
done
%install
%if 0%{?suse_version} == 1120
export flavor=desktop pae default
%else
export flavor=default pae
%endif
export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
export INSTALL_MOD_DIR=updates

        cd obj/$flavor
	make KLIB=%{kernel_source $flavor} \
	   KLIB_BUILD=%{kernel_source $flavor} install
       # make -C %{kernel_source $flavor} modules_install M=$PWD/obj/$flavor
        cd ../../.
done
%changelog

see that make -C %{kersrc} modules .. was not correct.anyway compile is done but then installing faild because modules.dep wasn't found; then I added a call to depmod which fails :

+ /sbin/depmod -a
WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-xen: No such file or directory
FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-xen/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.31341 (%prep)

KLIB var were got from Download - Linux Wireless

thank you
just found compat-wireless in OBS https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...ireless_STABLE . I see the spec has a bunch of adds...
