Kernel version not recognized

Reported by: mrenzmann Assigned to:
Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: madwifi: other Version: trunk
Keywords: Cc:
Patch is attached: 0 Pending:

Description

Originally reported here:

I tried with make, at the beginning the program was unable to detect kernel version, so I replaced line 

KERNELRELEASE := $(shell $(CC) -I $(KERNELPATH)/include -E $(TOP)/kernelversion.c | grep uts_release | cut -f2 -d'"')

with 

KERNELRELEASE := /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.17-0.1

At that point exucuting again the program with "make" command I am having the following message: 

Checking requirements... ok.
Checking kernel configuration... FAILED
Only kernel versions 2.4.x and above are supported. You have /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.17-0.1.
make: *** [configcheck] Error 1

First, KERNELRELEASE is expected to be a version number, not the path to your linux source tree. Please undo said modification of the Makefile, then run "make" again and post the result here.

Second, please tell us what Linux distribution you're using.

I am using openSuse 10.3

this is what I get

/bin/sh: cc: command not found Makefile.inc:81: *** Cannot detect kernel version - please check compiler and KERNELPATH. Stop.

You have no compiler (read: GCC) installed, but try to compile MadWifi from source. This is like trying to drive away with a car that has no motor. And editing the Makefile does not fix this issue, rather you need to install GCC and try again.
