Issues compiling ndiswrapper under Mandriva 2006

[superplay]

I am running Mandriva 2006 and uname -r shows 2.6.12-12mdk

 

I have downloaded the following files:

 

NDIS Wrapper 1.7 source

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...lease_id=376633

 

kernel-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/26/di...-1-1mdk.src.rpm

 

then:

copied the source to home/me/download/ndiswrapper-1.7

installed kernel-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm

installed make

 

log on as root

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-12mdk /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk/build

 

make distclean

make

 

This fails as it can not find the kernel sources, I change directory to /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk directory there is a build folder.

However I cannot change into this and the word "build" is flashing red with @ afterwards "build@"

Any help would be appreciated.

You installed a src.rpm and you need to install the kernel-source. (urpmi kernel-source)

[superplay]

Devries you are a superstar!

 

Thanks I have managed to compile and install the latest ndiswrapper.

 

Hey it even works ;-)

 

Cheers
