[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#520706: nvidia-kernel-source: It is a KERNEL_SOURCE vs KERNEL_OUTPUT issue

[Itaï BEN YAACOV]

Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 180.29-1
Severity: normal


After looking for several complicated solutions I found a relatively easy one -
(after copying the Makefile_32.cpu file of course)
you just need to set the KERNEL_SOURCES to the -common directory and
KERNEL_OUTPUT to the -686 (in my case) directory.
For example, I did something ugly like defining KCOM to the -common dir and 
then modifying the debian/rules file to 

IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 CC="$(CC)" $(MAKE) -C $(CURDIR)/$(dirname) -f Makefile SYSSRC=$(KCOM) KERNEL_OUTPUT=$(KSRC) $(KPKG_EXTRAV_ARG) KBUILD_PARAMS=$(KBUILD_PARAMS) module;

the debian/rules file can probably be modified more intelligently to figure the -common dir from the
flavoured headers dir by itself.  In any case, this worked for me...


Cheers,
Itai.
