Build failure on opensuse 12.3 about sysdig HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi,

So the in-tree build is a big no-no as the cmake's automatically generated Makefile will overwrite the one from the driver, out-of-tree build is the way to go.

For your problem, you just need to install the kernel headers. In my case, starting from a fresh OpenSUSE AMI, this will do it:

zypper install kernel-ec2-devel

You might have to use kernel-devel instead of kernel-ec2-devel, but that's the idea, the package will create you the right symlink in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build.

Also, make sure you're using the latest available kernel version because kernel and kernel-devel packages must match version.

Feel free to reopen if you have other issues.

I had the kernel headers installed. The problem is that the 'build' subdirectory doesn't exist.

I don't seem to have the rights to reopen the issue, btw.

That's definitely strange, it just worked on mine, so I suspect there's something else:

Please paste the output for

uname -a

ls /lib/modules

ls /usr/src

Thanks

Here you go:

Yeah, that's what I suspected, you're running 3.7.10-1.1-desktop but you only have installed kernel headers for linux-3.7.10-1.28, so your chances are:

1. Upgrade your running kernel to linux-3.7.10-1.28
2. Downgrade your kernel-headers package to 3.7.10-1.1 (not sure the exact command line as I'm not a big OpenSUSE user myself)

Let me know if it works after these steps.

from sysdig.

Yep, that was it. I've installed the older kernel headers and it's now built fine. Thanks for the help!
