Hi
I’m trying to compile a driver(tuner tbs6502) for the last few iterations of Tumbleweed, It fails as the variable KERNELREVISON is permanently set to 4.10.9-1-default.
I’ve just upgraded to:
linux-steam:/usr/src/linux # uname -r
4.10.12-1-default
When I compile the driver I get the following;
Linux-steam:/ # ./tbs-compile.sh
Linux linux-steam 4.10.12-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 21 11:50:25 UTC 2017 (3043bd9) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
TBS drivers configured for x86_64 platform.

The Line in Bold is generated by:
@echo Chris Kernel build directory is $(OUTDIR)
in the Driver MAKE file.
also in MAKE file “OUTDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)/build”
From this I reason KERNELREVISION is the problem.
After much Googling I am no further forward on how to reset/change KERNELREVISION and make sure it rolls forward with future Tumbleweed updates.
Any help gratefully received.
