Subject: Problems with compilation "compat-wireless-2.6.34-rc4"

Dears,

It is interesting that compilation fails with misleading error
"cp: cannot create regular file `/lib/udev/rules.d/': Is a directory"

When I create a directory /lib/udev/rules.d/ manually, compilation
runs normally. It would be a good idea to check existency of
/lib/udev/rules.d/ e.g. insige "configure" script.


make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.11 M=/I/USR_SRC/compat-wireless-2.6.34-rc4 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/I/USR_SRC/linux-2.6.32.11'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 67 modules

make[1]: Leaving directory `/I/USR_SRC/linux-2.6.32.11'
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.11 M=/I/USR_SRC/compat-wireless-2.6.34-rc4 modules
depmod will prefer updates/ over kernel/ -- OK!
cp: cannot create regular file `/lib/udev/rules.d/': Is a directory
make: *** [install-scripts] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Your old wireless subsystem modules were left intact:

/lib/modules/2.6.21.5/kernel/drivers/net/b44.ko

Your old bluetooth subsystem modules were left intact:


make[1]: Entering directory `/I/USR_SRC/linux-2.6.32.11'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 67 modules

make[1]: Leaving directory `/I/USR_SRC/linux-2.6.32.11'

Jara

Thanks for reporting this, I've fixed this, this will be propagated
into the compat-wireless-2.6.34.1 release.
