Really i run it and all i get is the very unhelpfull: [dennis at icedesk:~/pkgz/ati]$ sh fglrx-build.sh Link /lib/modules/2.6.6-1-686/build does not exist (or is not a link) What does that mean?
Exactly what it says: my script depends on that link to find the correct kernel source tree, but kernel-image-2.6.6-1-686 does not install any such link (I just checked and it's not in the .deb). I thought that *all* Debian kernel packages would install that link.
Now if someone knows why the link isn't created any more and/or if it's not correct to depend on it, please tell me.
You can tell the script where to find the sources by setting the KSRC environment variable. Try with
$ KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6 ./fglrx-build.shIf that doesn't work, forget about the script (which is just an experiment anyway) and follow the instructions on my page, which don't depend on that link at all.
Sorry i don't mean to sound negative im very grateful for all the packaging work you have done. When will i be able to apt-get a binary version of this module compiled for one of the Debian kernel packages?
When someone contributes either the binary packages themselves or detailed instructions on how to build them automatically. ;)
Note however that there are dozens of prebuilt kernels and it's unlikely that I could build all of the possible driver versions myself.
