Hi, I have installed kernel-longterm and this part is OK
I want build my dkms modules using always same linux-6.6 I have downloaded from : Index of /pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/)
I don’t want to download new header / source each time kernel-longterm increased because it consumes lot of space, 1.3 Gigs each.
How to link this to proceed?
Actually it complains as :
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.6.67-1-longterm cannot be found at /lib/modules/6.6.67-1-longterm/build or /lib/modules/6.6.67-1-longterm/source.
Please install the linux-headers-6.6.67-1-longterm package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it’s located.
You need to use matching kernel-longterm-devel packages which can simply be installed from openSUSE repos. No arbitrary external repos required…
Hum no for me

I would delete these.
And install kernel-longterm-syms in Version 67
Also all kernel-firmware-packages are not the newest.
PS:
Mostly you do not need dkms when you build your kernel package to the kernel-update directory…
Removing the 3 kernel packages will remove dkms, i need dkms to rebuild automaticly my dvb modules, one example from my github : GitHub - enigma131/stb0899: Dkms tweaked kernel module for low C/N and signal monitoring
I don’t want to install manually kernel longterm sources, dkms have to build the modules automaticly at each longterm step.
Second part, dkms have to build the modules each time with same kernel source I have downloaded (kernel 6.6), I don’t have tons of gigabytes for a new source for each longterm dkms compiling.
All this is OK with normal kernel and other distributions since years, but will not work for TW longterm kernel ?
But you see that the kernel-devel/kernel-default-devel packages you downloaded, are for kernel 6.11 but your longterm kernel is 6.6? This can‘t work. That is why Sauerland
recommended to remove the wrong, external kernel-devel packages.
… and install kernel-syms-longterm
To build external modules for a openSUSE kernel you only need corresponding kernel-longterm-devel package (which will pull in all needed dependencies). You do not need kernel sources even from openSUSE, and most certainly not from some external resource. It sounds like at this point you screwed up the content of openSUSE kernel-longterm-devel and other related packages and you need to uninstall them, clean up their directories removing all junk that have been accumulated and install the necessary packages again.
P.S. this topic has nothing to do with Hardware. It should be moved to Development.
I reapeat : Ho to get always same kernel-longterm-devel paquet for each dkms automatic compiling. I can change my Makefile source (at my above github link) accordly but important is to have always the SAME.
The 6.11 was before switching to longterm, dkms was working with, but I need 6.6 longterm and working the same way as before longterm switching
You should read the informatiocvn provided in the github link above. As already said several times: the devel version needs to match the kernel version.
So it’s impossible to use for me, your devel size a complete Linux source, and each compiling need a fresh one = tons of gigabytes…
I don’t want to compile the kernel itself, but my DVB modules and only for long term kernel
With Debian, Redhat, or Fedora with copr Kwizard, I can use a fixed Kernel source, alway the same.

Yes normal it’s broken, in Makefile it’s linked to kernel 5.10 as :
KERNSRC=“/usr/src/linux-5.10/include/media”
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I${KERNSRC}
KERNELSOURCE=“/usr/src/linux-5.10/drivers/media”
I haven’t updated the github, now I have linux-6.6 as source, you must, from /usr/src:
wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.6.tar.xz
tar -xJf linux-6.6.tar.xz

I have an other error. I can’t remove a dkms. The command is OK, but module is still listed from dkms status
You do not even try to listen and understand what others say.
My modules are linked to lot of other parts of kernel, I can do it without, It’s a complex DVB module
I’s not a simple wifi module to compile…
Why have I error and you not and why can’t I remove a module from dkms tree ?
I took the sources from your github project. It compiles (after adding missing files).
