[Bug 46956] Re: unable to compile

[Olivier Cortès]

Hi,

on Gutsy *and* Feisty, build error too :

Build failed. Press Return to continue...

linux-headers-`uname -r` is installed on both machines (gutsy and feisty), and module-assistant fetched anything normally needed to compile modules (kqemu and alsa just build, install fine and work perfectly). I suspect this to be a newbie error as linux/config.h has been a standard file in the past, but I can't remember where to find it.
Is it just as simple as `gunzip -cd /proc/config.gz > /usr/include/linux/config.h` (as root) ?

What do you think about it ? Why does pwc needs this linux/config.h
whereas other modules compile fine without it ?

** Summary changed:

- unable to compile 
+ pwc module fails to build, unable to compile, missing linux/config.h [Feisty/Gutsy]
